SIBI-P1 H2543-21
and male donkeys
| Root | חמר (ḥ-m-r) |
| Core Meanings | redness, dun coloration, fermentation, foaming, material substance |
| Semantic Range | male donkey, pack animal, beast of burden; by extension symbol of labor, humility, or rural wealth |
| Conceptual Significance | The male donkey was a primary beast of burden in ancient Israel, associated with agrarian life, trade, and modest status. It appears in legal, narrative, and prophetic contexts, sometimes symbolizing peaceable kingship or humble service. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + common noun masculine plural absolute (Ncbpa) from חֲמוֹר. No article or pronominal suffix; simple coordinated plural noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֲמֹר derives from the root חמר, likely referring to the animal’s reddish or dun coloration. The form חֲמֹרִים is masculine plural absolute, and the prefixed וַ indicates conjunction ('and'), so the rendering preserves both the masculine plural ('male donkeys') and the conjunction. |
