SIBI-P1 H7227-06
to the many ones
| Root | רבב (r-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | abundance, multitude, greatness, increase, multiplicity |
| Semantic Range | many, numerous ones, the multitude, the great ones (in rank), the majority, abundant ones |
| Conceptual Significance | From the root expressing abundance and greatness, רַבִּים often highlights the contrast between the one and the many, the individual and the multitude. In covenantal and prophetic contexts, "the many" can signify the broader community, emphasizing the expansive scope of divine action or responsibility among the people. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל (to/for) + adjective רַבִּים, masculine plural absolute, functioning substantivally ("the many"). No pronominal suffix; number is plural; gender is masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לָרַבִּים consists of the preposition ל ("to/for") attached to the masculine plural adjective רַבִּים ("many, abundant ones"). Rendering it as "to the many ones" preserves the sense of abundance from the root רבב and reflects the masculine plural absolute form used substantively. |
