SIBI-P1 H6239-05

to richness

Rootעשר (ʿ-š-r)
Core Meaningsrichness, wealth, abundance, prosperity
Semantic Rangematerial wealth, riches, abundance of possessions, prosperity, affluence; in some contexts metaphorical abundance
Conceptual Significanceעֹשֶׁר often represents material prosperity viewed as divine blessing, yet it can also highlight the moral and spiritual testing associated with abundance. In biblical theology, richness may signify covenantal blessing but also carries warnings against pride and misplaced trust in material security.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun (absolute state) with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). No pronominal suffix; singular masculine form is maintained.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֹשֶׁר derives from the root עשר, "to be rich" or "to become wealthy," and denotes richness or wealth. The form is masculine singular absolute with the prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"), so "to richness" preserves both the core root idea and the singular form indicated by the morphology (Ncmsa).
