Exegesis
The numeral sequence employs the multiplicative pattern: arba‘im {אַרְבָּעִ֥ם | ʾar-ba-‘îm} ‘forty’ + elef {אֶ֖לֶף | ’e-lef} ‘thousand’ modified by vachamesh {וַחֲמֵ֥שׁ | va-ḥă-mēš} ‘and five’ and me’ot {מֵאֽוֹת | mē-’ôṯ} ‘hundreds’. In Hebrew the quantifier precedes the noun, whereas English idiom places numerals postpositively, so the translation reorders to “forty thousand and five hundred.” The disjunctive symbol ס corresponds to the semicolon in formal rendering.
In context — Numbers 26:18
These are the clans of the sons of Gad according to their musterings ; forty thousand and five hundred .
