and one (as a single unity)
| Root | אחד (ʾ-ḥ-d) |
| Core Meanings | unity, oneness, singleness, being joined as one |
| Semantic Range | one, a single one, first, each, every, a certain one, unity, sameness, togetherness |
| Conceptual Significance | אֶחָד expresses both numerical singularity and conceptual unity. It is central to biblical theology in affirmations such as the oneness of YHWH (Deut 6:4), conveying not merely arithmetic singularity but unified, indivisible being. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + adjective, cardinal number, masculine singular absolute (HC/Acmsa). Functions adjectivally or substantivally depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") attached to the masculine singular adjective אֶחָד. Rendering it "and one (as a single unity)" preserves the basic numerical sense while reflecting the root idea of unified oneness inherent in אחד, and it maintains the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
