Interesting. I wonder if this is related to how Germans count/pronounce numbers. 21 in your example is "einundzwanzig" in German (or "ein-und-zwanzig", "one-and-twenty")

I think in this case it’s because Hebrew is read right to left, so unrelated.

Yep. The reversed order is also something that you see in archaic English, for example the nursery rhyme, “four and twenty blackbirds”
