Cardinal quantity in counts and numerical expressions · dominant
The cardinal forms quantify objects and people: in 1 Samuel 17:40 the APB renders David choosing “five smooth stones,” while 1 Kings 7:39 renders five stands on each side of the house. They also occur with measures and composite numbers: 1 Kings 6:10 gives a height of “five cubits,” 1 Chronicles 29:7 gives “five thousand talents,” and 1 Kings 22:42 renders ages as “thirty-five” and “twenty-five.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the numerical clause with “five,” including counted objects, people, and measurements; it also uses composite expressions such as “thirty-five,” “twenty-five,” and “fifteenth.” These render the clauses as a whole rather than independently fixing every token's English equivalent.
