| Root | אצבע (ʾ-ṣ-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | finger, toe, digit, extremity for grasping or pointing |
| Semantic Range | finger, toe, digit of hand or foot; by extension, a small projecting part or extremity |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical literature, "fingers" can symbolize fine workmanship, divine action ("the finger of God"), or detailed structure (as in descriptions of statues or body parts). The term highlights precision, agency, and the smallest functional members of a larger whole. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common feminine plural construct (Ncfpc) with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). The construct state requires a following genitive ("of ..."). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֶצְבַּע denotes a "finger" or "toe," an extremity used for grasping or pointing. Rendering it as "grasping-digits" preserves the concrete, functional sense of the root. The form is feminine plural construct with a prefixed conjunction, hence "and the ... of," reflecting both the number (plural) and construct relationship. |
