📚 About Hebrew Numbers
Hebrew numbers have both masculine and feminine forms. The form you use depends on what you're counting:
Masculine: Used for masculine nouns or when counting abstractly (like counting to ten)
Feminine: Used for feminine nouns
Tip: Interestingly, masculine numbers often have feminine endings (-ah) and vice versa!
