SIBI-P1 H1709-03
the fishes
| Root | דג (d-g) |
| Core Meanings | fish, aquatic life, swarming, darting movement, abundance |
| Semantic Range | Individual fish, groups of fish, fish as food, aquatic creatures collectively, symbol of abundance or teeming life. |
| Conceptual Significance | Fish in the Hebrew Bible often signify abundance and divine blessing (as in multiplication imagery), economic sustenance (fishing), and the life-filled productivity of the seas. The plural form can emphasize multiplicity and abundance within creation. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) prefixed to a common masculine plural noun in the absolute state (Ncmpa). No pronominal suffix. Root דג. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הַדָּגִים consists of the definite article הַ plus the masculine plural noun דָּגִים, yielding "the fishes." Rendering it in the plural preserves the masculine plural absolute morphology, while "fishes" reflects the concrete, countable sense of multiple fish implied by the Hebrew form. |
