and silver
| Root | כסף (k-s-p) |
| Core Meanings | longing, yearning, pale brightness, silver, money |
| Semantic Range | silver as a metal; monetary silver; money in general; wealth; purchase price; payment. |
| Conceptual Significance | Silver functioned as a primary medium of exchange and a standard of value in ancient Israel, central to commerce, redemption payments, and sanctuary offerings, symbolizing material wealth and transactional worth. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וָ + noun כֶּסֶף; common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). No article or pronominal suffix; simple coordinated noun. |
