and the united one
| Root | אחד (ʾ-ḥ-d) |
| Core Meanings | unity, oneness, union, singularity, being joined as one |
| Semantic Range | one (number), single, first, each, every, alone, a certain one, unified, the same |
| Conceptual Significance | אחד expresses both numerical oneness and unity of essence or purpose. It is central to Israel’s confession of divine unity (e.g., YHWH as "one") and often conveys the idea of wholeness or indivisible unity within covenant identity and communal life. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ (and) + definite article הָ (the) + adjective/cardinal numeral אֶחָד in masculine singular absolute form (Acmsa). Functions substantivally as "the one." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article and prefixed conjunction ("and + the + one"). Rendering it as "the united one" preserves the root sense of unity inherent in אחד, while "and" reflects the prefixed waw and "the" reflects the definite article; the singular form conveys masculine singular number as marked in the morphology. |
