SIBI-P1 `H69-01`

and the stone

Root	אבן (ʾ-b-n)
Core Meanings	stone, rock, building material, masonry
Semantic Range	stone, building stone, precious stone, carved stone, stone as material, stone as object of strength or permanence
Conceptual Significance	Stone in the biblical text signifies strength, durability, and foundation—whether in construction (temple and palace), memorial stones, or symbolic imagery (e.g., kingdoms portrayed as stone in Daniel). It often represents permanence and divine establishment.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וְ + noun common feminine singular determined (emphatic) state in Aramaic (Ncfsd). The determined state marks definiteness, equivalent to the Hebrew definite article.
Rendering Rationale	The noun אֶבֶן is feminine singular, and in this Aramaic form it appears in the determined (emphatic) state, which functions as definite (“the stone”). The prefixed וְ is the conjunction “and.” The rendering preserves the feminine singular noun and its definiteness.
