and great

Rootרבב (r-b-b)
Core Meaningsmultiplicity, abundance, greatness, increase, magnitude
Semantic Rangegreat, many, much, numerous, abundant, mighty, chief, master, captain, elder
Conceptual SignificanceThe term conveys not only numerical abundance but also social or qualitative greatness. In biblical usage it can denote magnitude in number, power, or status, reflecting the Hebrew worldview in which increase and greatness are signs of blessing, authority, or significance.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to adjective רַב (HC/Aamsa, HC/Aamsc): masculine singular adjective in absolute or construct state. No pronominal suffix. Agreement determined by the noun it modifies.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective רַב derives from the root רבב, expressing abundance or greatness. The form is masculine singular (absolute or construct) with the conjunction וְ (“and”), so the rendering "and great" preserves both the adjectival sense of magnitude and the singular masculine agreement indicated by the morphology.
