Your comment made me dig out my BHS, since i had not counted in Hebrew since my Masters 20 years ago. Biblical Hebrew also spells out numbers, but in a slightly mixed order of the 2 systems: six and forty thousand and five of hundreds (Num 1:21), nine and fifty thousand and three of hundreds ( 1:23 ).
