SIBI-P1 H8145-03

the second (feminine singular)

Rootשנה (sh-n-h)
Core Meaningsrepetition, doubling, secondness, change
Semantic Rangesecond in sequence, another of two, repeated occurrence, again (in adverbial usage), secondary rank
Conceptual SignificanceAs an ordinal rooted in the concept of repetition or doubling, it structures biblical narrative and ritual sequence, marking ordered time, rank, or succession—often significant in covenantal patterns, temple service, and narrative development.
Morphological NotesDefinite article הַ + ordinal adjective שֵׁנִי; feminine singular absolute form (שֵׁנִית). Functions adjectivally to modify a feminine noun.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective שֵׁנִי derives from the root שנה, conveying the idea of repetition or doubling, hence "second" as what follows the first in sequence. The form here is definite, feminine singular absolute, so the rendering preserves both the definiteness ("the") and the feminine singular grammatical agreement.
