Exegesis
Finally, the additive numeral me'ah ve-esrim {מֵאָ֥ה וְעֶשְׂרִֽים | mĕ-’ā-h wə-ʿe-śrı̂m} ‘one hundred and twenty’ completes the count according to Hebrew numeric order. The formal rendering preserves the list structure with “numbered,” while the dynamic smooths the rubric into a narrative statement, maintaining Hebrew cohesion and clarifying apposition without an auxiliary verb.
