⁧עֲשָׂרָה⁩ • ('asará) m (construct ⁧עֲשֶׂרֶת⁩ (aséret), feminine ⁧עֶשֶׂר⁩ (éser))

1. ten

• In Modern Hebrew, when the numbers three through ten modify a definite masculine noun and are directly preceding it, the construct form is used:

  ⁧עֲשָׂרָה סְפָרִים⁩ ― asará s'farím ― ten books

  ⁧עֲשֶׂרֶת הַסְּפָרִים⁩ ― aséret has'farím ― the ten books

• The construct form is not used for higher numbers ending in ten, such as a hundred and ten:

  ⁧מֵאָה וַעֲשָׂרָה הַסְּפָרִים⁩ ― me'á va'asará has'farím ― the hundred and ten books

• In colloquial Modern Hebrew, the form ⁧עֶשֶׂר⁩ (éser) is often used regardless of gender.
