to count out
| Root | מנה (m-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | counting, numbering, allotting, apportioning, assigning |
| Semantic Range | to count, number, enumerate, allot, assign, appoint, reckon, prepare |
| Conceptual Significance | מנה reflects the ancient practice of counting or weighing out portions, whether people, days, or provisions. In biblical theology it often underscores divine sovereignty in appointing times, numbering people, and allotting destinies, emphasizing ordered purpose rather than random occurrence. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of מנה with prefixed preposition ל ("to"). No gender, number, or person marking; expresses purpose or result depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לִמְנוֹת is a Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל, meaning "to count." Rendering it "to count out" preserves the root sense of weighing or apportioning while retaining the simple (Qal) verbal force and infinitival form indicated by the morphology. |
