to the one (the united one)
| Root | אחד (ʾ-ḥ-d) |
| Core Meanings | unity, oneness, uniting, singularity |
| Semantic Range | one, single, first, each, every, alone, a certain one, unified |
| Conceptual Significance | אחד expresses not merely numerical singularity but the concept of unity and wholeness, foundational in Israel’s confession of YHWH as one (e.g., Deut 6:4). Even in distributive uses, it carries the sense of individuality within unity. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with assimilated definite article (לָ) + adjective, cardinal number, masculine singular absolute (אֶחָד). The form is singular and masculine, functioning substantivally (“the one”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לָאֶחָד consists of the preposition לָ (“to/for the”) prefixed to the masculine singular adjective אֶחָד (“one”). Rendering it as “to the one (the united one)” preserves the singular masculine sense while reflecting the root idea of unity inherent in אחד. |
