and his women

Rootאנש (ʾ-n-š)
Core Meaningswoman, female, wife, mortal counterpart
Semantic Rangewoman, wife, female person, each woman, wives collectively, woman in contrast to man
Conceptual SignificanceThis term denotes the foundational female member of household and covenant life in Israel. As the feminine counterpart to "man," it carries social, familial, and covenantal significance, often marking lineage, inheritance, and relational identity within the community.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") + noun feminine common plural construct נָשֵׁי + 3ms pronominal suffix וֹ ("his"). From אִשָּׁה, irregular plural נָשִׁים.
Rendering RationaleThe noun is feminine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, yielding "the women of him," i.e., "his women." Rendering it as "his women" preserves both the feminine plural form and the possessive suffix, while maintaining the core sense of the female counterpart within human relationships.
