five-of
| Root | חמש (ḥ-m-sh) |
| Core Meanings | five, fivefold grouping, quintet |
| Semantic Range | the number five; five units of something; five individuals; by extension fifth or five each in certain idioms |
| Conceptual Significance | As a basic numeral, five structures many biblical patterns (e.g., the five books of the Torah, five offerings, five-fold groupings). It often marks completeness within a smaller unit or a hand-sized grouping, reflecting order and measure in Israel’s covenant life. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew adjective, cardinal number, masculine singular construct (HAcmsc). Used in construct relation before a counted noun, linking as "five of" or "five" in a bound form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form חֲמֵשֶׁת is the masculine singular construct of the cardinal number חָמֵשׁ (five). Rendering it as "five-of" preserves its construct state, showing that it governs a following noun ("five of …") and reflects its masculine singular grammatical form. |
