| Root | שלשׁ (š-l-š) |
| Core Meanings | three, triad, threefoldness, thirdness |
| Semantic Range | The number three; a triad; occasionally extended to third or threefold in related forms; used in counting people, objects, or units of time. |
| Conceptual Significance | The number three frequently marks completeness or stability in biblical narrative and law (e.g., three witnesses, three days, threefold patterns), often signaling sufficiency or established testimony within Israel’s cultural and theological framework. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number; masculine singular construct (HAcmsc). Used before a counted noun, most often a masculine plural, forming a construct chain ("three of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form שְׁלֹשֶׁת is the masculine singular construct form of the cardinal number "three." Rendering it as "three-of" reflects its construct state, indicating it governs and quantifies a following noun (typically masculine plural), preserving both its grammatical form and its function. |
