the Number 10 in the bible

 Based on what i have researched, (these words coming from others), the number 10 means: 10 means perfect order, God's timing/plan, authority, and responsibility.

• In its original meaning, some believe 10 indicates “union” or “collection.” In Judaism, the rabbis regard the number 10 as a cohesive system of smaller parts that combine to create something whole.
• This belief is why rabbis regard 10 as meaning holiness, something holy enough as a whole that whatever God creates becomes a resting place for His presence (Shekinah Glory).
• With this thought in mind, we find two factors of the number 10 are 4 and 6. Four is the number of physical creation, and 6 is the number of man, as mentioned. Put together, 10 indicates God’s authority over mankind and the divine completion He made.

the bullet points of that defintion comes from : https://www.steppesoffaith.com/apologetics/meaning-number-10-bible  The final bullet point makes sense in a way because there are 10 commandments and the first 4 are about loving God, and the last 6 are about loving Man.

In Hebrew, the number 10 is represented by the letter Yod (י), the tenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The name Yod literally means “hand.”
