and to one (male)

Rootאחד (ʾ-ḥ-d)
Core Meaningsunity, oneness, being joined, singularity
Semantic Rangeone (numerically), a single individual, each, first (ordinally), unique, united, alone
Conceptual Significanceאֶחָד is central to Israel’s confession of divine unity (e.g., "YHWH is one"), expressing not only numerical singularity but also indivisible unity. It can denote individuality within a group or emphasize the uniqueness and singular nature of a person or thing.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + preposition לְ + cardinal adjective masculine singular absolute אֶחָד (H259). No pronominal suffix; singular masculine reference.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective אֶחָד derives from the root conveying unity or being joined into one. In this form it is masculine singular absolute with the prefixed conjunction וּ ("and") and preposition לְ ("to/for"), so the rendering preserves both the sense of singular unity and the masculine singular grammatical form.
