and the man

Rootאִישׁ (ʾ-y-sh)
Core Meaningsman, male person, individual, humanity, strength, existence
Semantic RangeThe root אִישׁ functions as the most versatile Hebrew term for 'man,' encompassing: (1) an adult male in contrast to a woman or child; (2) a husband within marriage; (3) an individual human being irrespective of sex when context highlights personhood or responsibility; (4) a representative member of a group ('each' or 'every one'); (5) a man of strength or distinction (great man, mighty man); (6) a man belonging to a place or people.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, אִישׁ carries covenantal weight, particularly when denoting a husband (emphasizing responsibility) or when used distributively to underscore personal accountability before God. The word's flexibility allows it to represent both the particular individual and the universal human condition, making it foundational to biblical anthropology and ethics. Its use in Genesis 2:23–24 establishes the divine pattern for marriage, while its distributive sense in passages like Deuteronomy 24:16 emphasizes individual moral responsibility.
Morphological NotesHC/Td/Ncmsa: conjunction (HC) + definite article (Td) + masculine singular noun (Ncmsa). The word appears 17 times in this form across the corpus, consistently combining the conjunction wə- ('and'), the definite article hā-, and the noun אִישׁ in masculine singular absolute form.
Rendering RationaleThe morphology HC/Td/Ncmsa indicates a masculine singular construct noun with the definite article (hā-) and a conjunction (wə-). The rendering 'and the man' preserves both the grammatical structure (masculine singular with definite article) and the root's fundamental meaning of an individual male person or representative human being. The conjunction 'and' reflects the wə- prefix, while 'the man' captures the definite article and the masculine singular form.
