his head
| Root | ראשׁ (r-ʾ-sh) |
| Core Meanings | head, top, beginning, chief, first, summit |
| Semantic Range | physical head; top or summit; beginning; chief or leader; total or sum |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of "head" in biblical literature conveys not only the physical head but also ideas of primacy, authority, and origin. It can signify leadership, prominence, or the starting point of something, reflecting hierarchical and structural thought in the biblical worldview. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common masculine singular noun in construct form (רֵאשֵׁ) with third masculine singular pronominal suffix (־הּ), yielding "head of him" → "his head." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֵאשׁ (rêʾsh) derives from the root ראשׁ, denoting the head, top, or chief part. The morphology (Aramaic noun, masculine singular construct with 3ms suffix) requires the rendering "his head," preserving both the singular masculine form and the third masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
