SIBI-P1 H3967-01
in a hundred
| Root | מאה (m-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | hundred, full numerical unit, complete count |
| Semantic Range | a hundred (as a cardinal number), a hundred units of measure (shekels, cubits, men, etc.), a hundredfold, or a fractional/multiplicative expression depending on context. |
| Conceptual Significance | The number one hundred functions as a standard large unit in biblical reckoning—economic, military, and genealogical—often conveying completeness, sufficiency, or substantial measure within covenantal and communal life. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in/with/by") prefixed to מֵאָה, a feminine singular absolute numeral (cardinal number). No pronominal suffix; singular in form though numerically large. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מֵאָה is a feminine singular absolute meaning "hundred." The prefixed preposition בְּ ("in, with, by") governs the noun, so "in a hundred" preserves both the numeric sense and the singular feminine form indicated by the morphology (common feminine singular absolute with prefixed preposition). |
