SIBI-P1 Translation H6235-08
as ten
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, feminine singular absolute, with prefixed preposition כְּ ("as/like"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base form עֶשֶׂר denotes the cardinal number "ten." The prefixed כְּ adds the sense "as/like," so the form literally means "as ten," preserving the numeral’s core quantitative meaning without contextual expansion. |
