Interpretation: Five is the number of the books of the Torah, and the Hebrew letter heh stands for five.

### note

A number word: read it as the digit 5. A hand has 5 fingers; a five-sided shape is a pentagon. Order word «fifth» (5th), not «fiveth». Trap: it may be the number of groups, not the number of things.
