SIBI-P1 H3603-09
round-measures of
| Root | כרר (k-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | to turn, to circle, to go around, roundness |
| Semantic Range | circle, circular region, plain (especially the Jordan plain), round loaf, disk, talent (a large round weight or monetary unit) |
| Conceptual Significance | The כִּכָּר as a "round-measure" became a standard large unit of weight and currency (the talent), central to temple economy, tribute, and royal wealth. Its root sense of roundness connects geographical description (the Jordan plain) with economic measurement, reflecting how physical form informed cultural terminology. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine plural construct (HNcbpc) from כִּכָּר. The construct form כִּכְּרֵי indicates "[units] of" and must be followed by a genitive noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כִּכָּר derives from the root כרר, conveying the idea of roundness or circularity. In this form (כִּכְּרֵי), it is feminine plural construct, meaning "round-measures of" or "circular units of," preserving both the plural number and the construct relationship. The rendering highlights the original sense of a round weight or measure (later standardized as a "talent"). |
