how do you count in Hebrew?

Hebrew letters do have numeral value, but this way of counting is very archaic and it is rarely used in Modern Hebrew. We have, alongside with the letters, real numbers that are far more common in modern Hebrew as well as the biblical one:

On the left side: the feminine form of the numbers; on the right side: the musculine form of the numbers. Neutral numbers (numbers of streets, public transport lines, the numbers as you read them one by one) are set in their feminine form.
1- achat (אחת)/ echad (אחד)
2- shtayim (שתיים)/ shnayim (שניים)
3- shalosh (שלוש)/ shloshah (שלושה)
4- arba (ארבע)/ arba'ah (ארבעה)
5- chamesh (חמש)/ chamishah (חמישה)
6- shesh (שש)/ shishah (שישה)
7- sheva (שבע)/ shiv'ah (שבעה)
8- shmoneh (שמונה)/ shmonah (שמונה)
9- tesha' (תשע)/ tish'ah (תשעה)
10- eser (עשר)/ asarah (עשרה)
11- achat esreh (אחת עשרה)/ achad asar (אחד עשר)
12- shteyim esreh (שתיים עשרה)/ shneyim asar (שניים עשר)
13- shlosh esreh (שלוש עשרה)/ shloshah asar (שלושה עשר)
14- arba' esreh (ארבע עשרה)/ arba' asar (ארבע עשר)
15- chamesh esreh (חמש עשרה)/ chamishah asar (חמשה עשר)
16- shesh esreh (שש עשרה)/ shishah asar (שישה עשר)
17- shva esreh (שבע עשרה)/ shiv'ah asar (שבעה עשר)
18- shmonah esreh (שמונה עשרה)/ shmonah asar (שמונה עשר)
19- tsha' esreh (תשע עשרה)/ tish'ah asar (תשעה עשר)
20- esrim (עשרים)

The Hebrew numerology is as following:
א- Alef (1)
ב- Bet (2)
ג- Gimel (3)
ד- Dalet (4)
ה- Heh (5)
ו- Vav (6)
ז- Zayin (7)
ח- Chet (8)
ט- Tet (9)
י- Yud (10)
י"א- Yud Alef (11)
י"ב- Yud Bet (12)
י"ג- Yud Gimel (13)
י"ד- Yud Dalet (14)
ט"ו- Tet Vav (15)
ט"ז- Tet Zayin (16)
י"ז- Yud Zayin (17)
י"ח- Yud Chet (18)

In old hebrew, What we would call the zero day is one. 'After 8 days' is a week. Same in old French.
