their women

Rootאשה (ʾ-š-h)
Core Meaningswoman, wife, female, womanhood
Semantic Rangewoman, wife, female person, spouse, each woman, women collectively; sometimes used idiomatically for households or family units.
Conceptual Significanceאִשָּׁה represents the foundational female counterpart in Israel’s covenantal household structure. References to "their women" often highlight family identity, inheritance continuity, and communal integrity within Israelite society.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine noun in irregular plural construct form (נְשֵׁי) from אִשָּׁה, with 3mp pronominal suffix (הֶם). Functions as a construct chain meaning "women/wives of them."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a feminine plural construct ("women of") with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"), yielding "their women." This preserves both the plural feminine sense of the noun and the masculine plural possessive indicated in the morphology.
