The cardinal number precedes the noun (e.g., shlosha yeladim), except for the number one which succeeds it (e.g., yeled echad). The number two is special: shnayim (m.) and shtayim (f.) become shney (m.) and shtey (f.) when followed by the noun they count. For ordinal numbers (numbers indicating position) greater than ten the cardinal is used.
To define ℵ α for arbitrary ordinal number α, we must define the successor cardinal operation, which assigns to any cardinal number ρ the next larger well-ordered cardinal ρ + (if the axiom of choice holds, this is the (unique) next larger cardinal). We can then define the aleph numbers as follows: ℵ 0 = ω ℵ α+1 = (ℵ α) +
In numerology, gematria (/ ɡ ə ˈ m eɪ t r i ə /; Hebrew: גמטריא or גימטריה, gimatria, plural גמטראות or גימטריות, gimatriot) [1] is the practice of assigning a numerical value to a name, word or phrase by reading it as a number, or sometimes by using an alphanumerical cipher.
In mathematics, particularly in set theory, the beth numbers are a certain sequence of infinite cardinal numbers (also known as transfinite numbers), conventionally written ,,,, …, where is the Hebrew letter beth. The beth numbers are related to the aleph numbers (,, …), but unless the generalized continuum hypothesis is true, there are ...
Ordinal indicator – Character(s) following an ordinal number (used when writing ordinal numbers, such as a super-script) Ordinal number – Generalization of "n-th" to infinite cases (the related, but more formal and abstract, usage in mathematics) Ordinal data, in statistics; Ordinal date – Date written as number of days since first day of ...
One of two numbers that is written differently from the conventions of writing numbers in Hebrew in order to avoid writing the name of God. [19] The other is 16. The number of words in the Priestly Blessing; The date of many Jewish Holidays, including: Pesach, Sukkot, Tu B'Shevat, and Tu B'Av
Judaism (Hebrew: יַהֲדוּת , romanized: Yahăḏūṯ) is an Abrahamic monotheistic ethnic religion that comprises the collective spiritual, cultural, and legal traditions of the Jewish people. Religious Jews regard Judaism as their means of observing the Mosaic covenant, which was established between God and the Israelites, their ...
In set theory, an ordinal number, or ordinal, is a generalization of ordinal numerals (first, second, n th, etc.) aimed to extend enumeration to infinite sets. [ 1 ] A finite set can be enumerated by successively labeling each element with the least natural number that has not been previously used.
