SIBI-P1 H8145-01

in the second (one)

Rootשנה (sh-n-h)
Core Meaningsrepetition, doubling, change, succession
Semantic Rangesecond in order, another of two, again (adverbially), repeated instance
Conceptual SignificanceThe term structures time, sequence, and ritual order in the biblical text, marking succession or repetition—often significant in narratives, genealogies, and cultic instructions where divinely ordered sequence conveys meaning.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular ordinal adjective in the absolute state (שֵׁנִי) with prefixed preposition ב and assimilated definite article (בַּשֵּׁנִי = "in the second").
Rendering Rationaleשֵׁנִי derives from the root שנה, conveying the idea of repetition or doubling, hence "second" as that which follows the first in sequence. The form is masculine singular absolute with a prefixed ב ("in") and definite article, so "in the second (one)" preserves both the ordinal sense and the masculine singular grammatical form.
