SIBI-P1 H8141-13

a turning-year

Rootשנה (sh-n-h)
Core Meaningsrepeat, change, do again, alter, cycle
Semantic Rangeyear; annual cycle; age; duration of time; yearly reckoning; in idiom, long duration or old age
Conceptual SignificanceThe concept of שָׁנָה frames biblical time as cyclical and ordered, structuring sacred calendars, sabbatical and jubilee observances, covenantal promises measured in years, and generational continuity within Israel’s history.
Morphological NotesNoun, common feminine singular absolute. Though lexically feminine in Hebrew, it is grammatically singular here with no suffix or article attached.
Rendering RationaleThe noun שָׁנָה derives from the root שנה, "to repeat" or "to change," reflecting the cyclical repetition of time. Rendering it as "a turning-year" preserves the idea of recurring cycles while accurately reflecting the feminine singular absolute form (HNcfsa) with an English singular expression.
