PricingAboutSupportHebrew Numbers
Type a number to get it as Hebrew letters and spelled out in words in both genders, with pronunciation. Or type Hebrew letters, a year like תשפ״ז included, to read them back as a number.
Use the masculine form with masculine nouns (ימים, שקלים) and the feminine form with feminine nouns (שעות, שנים) and when counting out loud.
One to Nineteen in Both Genders
Every number from 1 to 19 has a masculine and a feminine form. Use the one that matches the noun you are counting.
Tens, Hundreds and Thousands
These stay the same for both genders. Only a final unit changes, as in עשרים ואחד or עשרים ואחת.

From eleventh on, Hebrew uses the ordinary number after the noun: היום האחד עשר, the eleventh day.
Good to Know
Why 15 Is ט״ו
Written as letters, 15 would be יה, the start of God’s name, so it is written ט״ו (9 + 6). 16 is ט״ז for the same reason.
Time Is Feminine
שעה is feminine, so the time uses feminine numbers: השעה שלוש, it is three o’clock.
Shekels Are Masculine
שקל is masculine, so the formal amount is חמישה שקלים. In everyday speech many Israelis say חמש שקל.
Counting Out Loud Is Feminine
Counting with no noun, phone numbers and arithmetic all use the feminine forms: אחת, שתיים, שלוש.
Two Before a Noun
Two changes before a noun: שני for masculine and שתי for feminine, as in שני ילדים (two boys) and שתי בנות (two girls).
Thousands Take a Construct Form
From 3,000 to 10,000 the number is in its construct form before אלפים: שלושת אלפים, עשרת אלפים.
Every letter also has a numeric value on its own; see the gematria calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 15 written טו instead of יה?
יה (yod-he) spells a short form of the divine name, so Hebrew avoids it in ordinary counting. 15 is written טו (tet-vav, 9+6) and 16 as טז (tet-zayin, 9+7) instead of the letters that would otherwise add up to those totals.
Why does the same number have two Hebrew words?
Hebrew numbers agree in gender with the noun they count, so "one" is אחד with a masculine noun and אחת with a feminine one. The masculine and feminine forms of 1 to 19 are different words, not just a suffix; from 20 up only the final unit changes.
Which gender do I use for the time or for money?
Telling time uses feminine numbers, because שעה (hour) is a feminine noun: "השעה שתיים" (it is two o'clock). שקל is masculine, so the formal amount is masculine, "עשרה שקלים" (ten shekels), although in everyday speech many Israelis say "עשר שקל".
How do I read a Hebrew year like ה׳תשפ״ז?
The letter before the geresh is the thousands: ה is 5, so 5,000, and תשפ״ז is 400+300+80+7 = 787, giving 5787. Most of the time the thousands are left off and the year is written תשפ״ז.
How is a number turned into a gematria value?
That is the reverse operation: letters already encode numbers (alef through tav), so a Hebrew word can be read as a sum. See the gematria calculator.
