SIBI-P1 H3701-15
silver
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (absolute and construct forms attested). Functions as a material noun and may appear in construct to denote possession or specification (e.g., "silver of…"). |
| Rendering Rationale | כֶּסֶף is a masculine singular noun in the absolute or construct state. The rendering "silver" preserves the concrete sense of the term while remaining singular, as indicated by the morphology. The noun is traditionally connected either to the pale brilliance of the metal or to the idea of something longed for or desired, both of which inform its semantic background. |
