in fasting

Rootצום (ṣ-w-m)
Core Meaningsto fast, to abstain from food, voluntary self-denial
Semantic Rangefasting, a fast-day, the act of abstaining from food, ritual self-denial
Conceptual SignificanceFasting in the Hebrew Scriptures signifies humility, repentance, supplication, or mourning before Elohim. It embodies embodied self-denial as an outward expression of inner contrition or earnest seeking of divine intervention.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") prefixed to a masculine common singular absolute noun צוֹם (Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix; singular, absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe noun צוֹם (masculine singular absolute) denotes the act or state of fasting, derived from the verb צום "to fast." The prefixed preposition בְּ means "in," so "in fasting" preserves both the root idea of abstention and the singular noun form indicated by the morphology (Ncmsa).
