SIBI-P1 H3701-02
in the silver
| Root | כסף (k-s-p) |
| Core Meanings | paleness, silver, precious metal, longing (by extension in verbal form) |
| Semantic Range | silver as a precious metal; money or currency; payment; price; wealth measured in silver |
| Conceptual Significance | Silver functioned as a primary medium of exchange and measure of value in the biblical world. Its association with pale brightness and desirability (from the root idea of longing) underscores themes of economic exchange, valuation, and at times misplaced trust in material wealth. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ with assimilated definite article (בַּ) + noun כֶּסֶף, masculine singular absolute. The dagesh in כּ marks the doubling from article assimilation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form בַּכֶּסֶף consists of the preposition בְּ ("in/with") fused with the definite article ("the") plus the masculine singular noun כֶּסֶף ("silver"). Rendering it as "in the silver" preserves the definite article and singular masculine form while retaining the concrete sense of the precious metal derived from the root כסף. |
