SIBI-P1 H259-05
in one (feminine)
| Root | אחד (ʾ-ḥ-d) |
| Core Meanings | oneness, unity, singularity, being united |
| Semantic Range | one (feminine), a single (feminine), once, one thing, one woman, in one instance, in one place, with one (feminine referent) |
| Conceptual Significance | Derived from the root expressing unity, this term participates in the biblical theme of oneness—whether numerical singularity, unified action, or covenantal unity. Even in simple numeric usage, it reflects the Hebrew worldview in which "one" can imply completeness or wholeness as well as singular count. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + cardinal numeral/adjective אֶחָד in the feminine singular (absolute or construct). The feminine form אַחַת agrees with a feminine noun, either expressed or implied. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form בְּאַחַת consists of the preposition בְּ ("in/with") attached to the feminine singular form of אֶחָד ("one"). Rendering it "in one (feminine)" preserves the core idea of oneness or unity from the root אחד while reflecting the explicitly feminine singular morphology. |
