and the silver
| Root | כסף (k-s-p) |
| Core Meanings | silver, pale metal, precious metal, money, monetary wealth |
| Semantic Range | literal silver as a precious metal; coined or uncoined silver; money; monetary payment; financial resources or wealth |
| Conceptual Significance | Silver functioned as a primary medium of exchange and a standard of value in the ancient Near East. In biblical literature it represents economic power, tribute, temple wealth, and at times the moral testing associated with wealth and material resources. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular, emphatic (determined) state, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). The emphatic ending -ָא marks definiteness. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular in the emphatic (determined) state in Biblical Aramaic, indicated by the ending -ָא, which functions as a definite form. The conjunction וְ adds "and," yielding "and the silver," preserving both the singular number and the definite force inherent in the morphology. |
