Exegesis
The numeral phrase kol sheloshim ve-shivah {כֹּל שְׁלֹשִׁ֥ים וְשִׁבְעָֽה | kôl šəlōšîm wə-šibˁâ} combines the collective noun kol with the compound cardinal sheloshim ve-shivah to state the complete count. Hebrew often omits the verb “to be” in existential statements, so English uses an expletive “there were” (formal) or an active “was included” (dynamic) to convey the clause.
