SIBI-P1 H3904-01
and to your concubine-wives
| Root | לחן (l-ḥ-n) |
| Core Meanings | (uncertain), possibly related to attachment or secondary union; denoting a secondary wife or consort |
| Semantic Range | concubines, secondary wives, women in a recognized but subordinate marital relationship |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical world, concubines were legally acknowledged partners of a man, though of lower status than primary wives. The term reflects ancient Near Eastern family structures, inheritance dynamics, and covenantal household order. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun; feminine plural construct (Ncfpc) with 2ms pronominal suffix ("your"), preceded by conjunction וּ and preposition לְ ("and to"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is feminine plural construct with a 2nd masculine singular suffix ("your" addressed to a man), preceded by conjunction and preposition ("and to"). "Concubine-wives" preserves the feminine plural sense while reflecting the cultural-legal nuance of a secondary marital union inherent in the term. |
