SIBI-P1 H7969-09
to three (feminine)
| Root | שלשׁ (sh-l-sh) |
| Core Meanings | three, triad, tripling, threefoldness |
| Semantic Range | three; a triad; third (in certain contexts); threefold; a group or unit of three; occasionally expressing repetition (thrice) depending on construction. |
| Conceptual Significance | The number three often conveys completeness or established pattern in biblical thought (e.g., threefold repetition for emphasis, triadic structures in narrative or poetry). As a basic cardinal, it also functions structurally in legal, cultic, and narrative frameworks to mark sufficiency or confirmation. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + cardinal number שָׁלֹשׁ; adjective, cardinal, feminine singular absolute (Acfsa). The feminine form of "three" is used in agreement patterns governed by Hebrew number–gender conventions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְשָׁלֹשׁ consists of the preposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to the feminine singular cardinal number "three." The rendering "to three (feminine)" preserves the numeric force of the root שלשׁ while explicitly reflecting the feminine singular grammatical form indicated by the morphology. |
