one (masculine singular)
| Root | אחד (ʾ-ḥ-d) |
| Core Meanings | unity, oneness, singleness, integration, togetherness |
| Semantic Range | one (as a number), a single, each, every, first (in certain contexts), alone, unified, the same |
| Conceptual Significance | אֶחָד expresses both numerical singularity and conceptual unity. It is central to Israel’s confession of divine oneness (e.g., יהוה אחד), conveying not merely arithmetic singularity but integrated, indivisible unity. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal numeral functioning adjectivally; masculine singular absolute (HAcmsa). It agrees in gender with a masculine noun and can function substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | אֶחָד is a masculine singular cardinal adjective in the absolute state. The rendering "one" preserves the core idea of unity and singularity inherent in the root אחד, while noting its masculine singular form as indicated by the morphology. |
