and four
| Root | רבע (r-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | four, fourth part, fourfold division |
| Semantic Range | the number four; a group of four; four units of measure or time; symbolically, completeness in a fourfold or worldly sense |
| Conceptual Significance | The number four in the Hebrew Bible often conveys totality in relation to the created order (e.g., four corners of the earth, four winds). It can signify comprehensiveness within the physical world or structured completeness in narrative and prophetic symbolism. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ (“and”) + adjective cardinal feminine singular absolute אַרְבַּע (H702). The feminine form of the numeral is typically used with masculine nouns in Biblical Hebrew. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form וְאַרְבַּע consists of the conjunction וְ (“and”) prefixed to the feminine singular absolute cardinal number אַרְבַּע. Although English does not mark gender on numerals, the rendering preserves the conjunction and the cardinal sense of the root רבע (“to be four, to make fourfold”). |
