SIBI-P1 H7217-05
the head of them
| Root | ראשׁ (r-ʾ-sh) |
| Core Meanings | head, top, summit, beginning, chief, first, total |
| Semantic Range | physical head, top or summit, beginning, first in rank, chief or leader, total or sum |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of "head" in biblical thought conveys authority, prominence, and primacy—whether of a person, a tribe, or a sequence of events—expressing ordered structure and leadership within communal and theological frameworks. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common masculine singular noun in construct state (רֵאשׁ) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (-הוֹן), forming a possessive construction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֵאשׁ is a masculine singular construct form meaning "head" or "chief." The attached 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (-הוֹן) yields "of them," so the phrase is singular in number: "the head of them," preserving both the root sense of prominence or leadership and the grammatical singular with plural suffix. |
