SIBI-P1 H2508-02
his apportioned portion
| Root | חלק (ḥ-l-q) |
| Core Meanings | to divide, apportion, allot, share, smoothness |
| Semantic Range | portion, share, allotted inheritance, assigned territory, assigned fate or lot |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, a "portion" often denotes one’s allotted inheritance, destiny, or divinely assigned share—whether land, blessing, or judgment—emphasizing YHWH’s sovereign distribution of roles and inheritances among individuals or peoples. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular in construct form (ANcmsc) with third masculine singular pronominal suffix (Sp3ms). Functions as a possessed noun: "portion of him" = "his portion." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root חלק, "to divide or apportion," so "apportioned portion" preserves the sense of something divided out as a share. The morphology (Aramaic masculine singular construct with 3ms pronominal suffix) requires a singular form with the possessive "his," yielding "his apportioned portion." |
