SIBI-P1 H8141-04
in the cycle-year of
| Root | שנה (sh-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | repetition, change, cycle, renewal |
| Semantic Range | year, annual cycle, calendrical year, age, duration of time, era (in extended usage) |
| Conceptual Significance | The term reflects the Hebrew conception of time as cyclical and ordered, marked by recurring seasons and covenantal rhythms (festivals, sabbatical years). It anchors historical events within divinely governed cycles of renewal and remembrance. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in”) prefixed to a feminine singular noun in the construct state (Ncfsc). The construct form "שְׁנַת" links the year to a following genitive noun (e.g., "in the year of…"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁנָה derives from the root שנה, conveying the idea of repetition or cyclical change, reflected in the concept of a year as a recurring cycle. The form is feminine singular construct with a prefixed בְּ (“in”), so "in the cycle-year of" preserves both the singular construct relationship and the sense of cyclical time inherent in the root. |
