SIBI-P1

she shall be apportioned out

Rootחלק (ḥ-l-q)
Core Meaningssmoothness, division, apportionment, distribution, separation
Semantic Rangeto divide, apportion, distribute, assign a share, separate, deal out; by extension to receive a portion or be divided
Conceptual Significanceחלוק language often appears in contexts of land inheritance, spoil distribution, or communal allocation, underscoring themes of covenant inheritance, divine allotment, and the ordered distribution of what YHWH grants.
Morphological NotesVerb from חלק in the intensive/passive stem (Pual form), 3rd person feminine singular. The doubling (dagesh) reflects the intensive stem; the feminine singular ending indicates a single feminine subject being acted upon.
Rendering RationaleThe root חלק conveys the idea of smoothing and, by extension, dividing or apportioning. The form תְּחֻלָּק is feminine singular and passive in sense (intensive stem), so "she shall be apportioned out" preserves the feminine singular subject and reflects the intensive/passive nuance of being deliberately divided or distributed.
