SIBI-P1 H802-35
their women
| Root | אשה (ʾ-š-h) |
| Core Meanings | woman, wife, female, womanhood |
| Semantic Range | woman, wife, female person, spouse, each woman, women collectively; sometimes used idiomatically for households or family units. |
| Conceptual Significance | אִשָּׁה represents the foundational female counterpart in Israel’s covenantal household structure. References to "their women" often highlight family identity, inheritance continuity, and communal integrity within Israelite society. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine noun in irregular plural construct form (נְשֵׁי) from אִשָּׁה, with 3mp pronominal suffix (הֶם). Functions as a construct chain meaning "women/wives of them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a feminine plural construct ("women of") with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"), yielding "their women." This preserves both the plural feminine sense of the noun and the masculine plural possessive indicated in the morphology. |
