SIBI-P1 H3701-29
and in the silver
| Root | כסף (k-s-p) |
| Core Meanings | silver, pale metal, money, longing (by verbal association) |
| Semantic Range | silver as a precious metal; coined or weighed money; wealth; purchase price; by implication, financial resources |
| Conceptual Significance | Silver functioned as a primary medium of exchange and measure of value in ancient Israel, often associated with trade, redemption payments, and covenantal transactions. Its frequent pairing with gold underscores themes of wealth, purity, and material provision in the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition ב with assimilated definite article (בַּ) + noun כֶּסֶף, masculine singular absolute. The article is embedded in the vocalization of the preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") plus the preposition בַּ ("in the," with the definite article assimilated) attached to the masculine singular noun כֶּסֶף ("silver"). Rendering it "and in the silver" preserves the definite article and the singular masculine form, while retaining the concrete root sense of silver rather than abstracting it to money unless context requires. |
