The Hebrew numeral ten ('eser/asarah) pervades biblical narrative in counting, measurement, and symbolic structures. It appears in genealogical ages (Gen 5:14), negotiations (Abraham's plea for ten righteous in Sodom, Gen 18:32), the Decalogue's ten commandments, and organizational units (rulers of tens, Exod 18:21). Hebrew's gender-agreement system for numerals means the masculine form pairs with feminine nouns and vice versa — a well-known grammatical inversion. Spanish diez, French dix, and German zehn all render it straightforwardly, as the concept of 'ten' requires no cultural adaptation.
