Semantic Rangeremainder after destruction, surviving group, residue, what is left over, posterity that escapes calamity
Conceptual Significanceשְׁאֵרִית often carries covenantal and theological weight, referring to the portion of Israel that survives judgment and through whom YHWH preserves His promises. The concept of the "surviving remainder" underscores both divine judgment and divine mercy, highlighting continuity after devastation.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun (HNcfsa / HNcfsc), appearing in both absolute and construct states. No pronominal suffix in the forms listed.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root שׁאר, "to remain" or "be left over," and denotes that which survives after loss or judgment. The form is a feminine singular noun (absolute or construct), so the rendering preserves its singular sense as one collective surviving remainder rather than a plural group.
