SIBI-P1 H8141-01

in the year-cycle

Rootשנה (sh-n-h)
Core Meaningsrepeat, change, cycle, turn
Semantic Rangeyear as a unit of time, annual cycle, age, duration of life, yearly occurrence
Conceptual SignificanceThe "year" in biblical thought marks cyclical renewal—agricultural seasons, festival rhythms, sabbatical patterns, and covenantal timekeeping—emphasizing ordered repetition and divinely structured time.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article + noun common feminine singular absolute (שָׁנָה). The dagesh in ש marks assimilation of the article. Singular and definite.
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition ב ("in") with the definite article and the feminine singular noun שָׁנָה ("year"). Rendering it as "in the year-cycle" preserves the singular feminine noun and reflects the root idea of repetition and cyclical turning inherent in שנה.
