SIBI-P1 H8337-05
for six-of
| Root | ששׁ (š-š) |
| Core Meanings | six, sixth, numerical total of six |
| Semantic Range | The number six; sixth (ordinal sense in some contexts); used in counting, dating, measurements, and symbolic numerical patterns. |
| Conceptual Significance | Six often represents completeness within the created order yet falls short of seven, the number associated with fullness or rest. It commonly marks periods of labor (e.g., six days of work) and structured time within covenantal rhythms. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/for") + masculine singular construct form of the cardinal number שֵׁשׁ (six). The construct state requires a following noun (e.g., "for six of the days"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְשֵׁשֶׁת consists of the preposition לְ ("for/to") attached to the masculine singular construct form of the cardinal number שֵׁשׁ ("six"). The rendering "for six-of" preserves the construct relationship ("six of…") and reflects the masculine singular cardinal form indicated by the morphology (Acmsc). |
