and for the new-moon renewals
| Root | חדש (ḥ-d-š) |
| Core Meanings | newness, renewal, restoration, fresh beginning |
| Semantic Range | new moon (lunar phase), month (lunar month), monthly observance, renewal cycle |
| Conceptual Significance | The new moon marked the beginning of each month in Israel’s calendar and was observed as a sacred time of offering and assembly. It embodies the biblical theme of cyclical renewal under YHWH’s ordering of time, linking cosmic rhythms with covenantal worship. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + preposition לְ with assimilated definite article + noun חֹדֶשׁ (masculine plural absolute). The plural form חֳדָשִׁים refers to multiple new-moon occasions or months. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֳדָשִׁים is masculine plural absolute, here with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and") and preposition לְ ("for/to") with the article, indicating specific, known occasions. Rendering it "new-moon renewals" preserves the plural form and highlights the root חדש (renewal, newness), reflecting both the lunar new moon and the concept of cyclical renewal inherent in the term. |
