SIBI-P1 H2677-13
to the divided-half
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular absolute noun (חֵצִי) with prefixed preposition לְ plus definite article (לַ־), yielding “to the half.” Occurs once in this specific pointed form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֵצִי derives from the root חצה (“to divide, split”), denoting something that has been halved or apportioned. The form is masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with a prefixed לַ־ preposition and definite article (“to the”), so the rendering preserves both the singular masculine sense and the idea of something divided into two parts. |
