أَرْبَعَةَ four

He placed four things in his heart.

أَرْبَعَةَ four

A numeral ('four') in the object ending, the thing deposited. With the small numbers, it heads its counted noun and forces it to stay plural and genitive; here it carries the object ending because the verb governs the whole 'four things' as its object.

عَلَّمَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَسْمَاءٍ مِنْ أَسْمَائِهِ

He taught him four of His names.

أَرْبَعَة four

The number 'four', here the thing taught, so it stands as the verb's direct object and takes the object (accusative) ending. As a number from three to ten it leads, and the noun it counts ('names') follows in a tight unit.
