How to count in Hebrew from zero to one million. Hebrew
letters are used to a limited extent to represent numbers,
mainly on calendars. For other uses Western (Arabic)
numerals (1, 2, 3, etc) are used.
Cardinal and ordinal numbers must agree in gender with
the noun they are describing. If there is no such noun
(e.g. telephone numbers), the feminine form is used.
If any of the numbers are links, you can hear a recording by clicking on them. If you can provide recordings, please contact me.
