to a new-moon-month
| Root | חדש (ḥ-d-sh) |
| Core Meanings | newness, renewal, fresh beginning, restoration |
| Semantic Range | new moon (lunar phase), month (as measured by the lunar cycle), monthly observance, calendar period |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical calendar, the new moon marked the beginning of each month and was associated with worship, offerings, and communal gathering. The term embodies the concept of cyclical renewal embedded in Israel’s sacred timekeeping. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular (absolute or construct), with prefixed preposition לְ (“to/for”). No pronominal suffix. The construct form can denote "of a new-moon/month" in context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹדֶשׁ derives from the root חדש, expressing newness or renewal. The form is masculine singular (absolute or construct) with the prefixed preposition לְ (“to/for”), so the rendering preserves the singular sense and reflects the original idea of the renewed moon marking a new month. |
