SIBI-P1 H8083-09

and eight (feminine)

Rootשׁמן (š-m-n)
Core Meaningsfatness, richness, fullness, abundance, plumpness
Semantic Rangeeight (cardinal), eighth (ordinal in some contexts), a count of eight units or items
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, eight often signifies a step beyond the completeness of seven—marking renewal, covenantal transition, or new beginnings (e.g., circumcision on the eighth day, post-flood renewal). Its derivation from a root associated with fullness underscores the sense of surplus or overflow beyond completion.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") + cardinal number, feminine singular absolute (cfsa). The feminine form agrees with feminine nouns it enumerates.
Rendering RationaleThe form וּשְׁמֹנֶה consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the feminine singular cardinal number "eight." The number derives from the root שׁמן, associated with fullness or surplus, reflecting the idea of eight as an abundance beyond seven; the rendering preserves the conjunction and indicates its feminine grammatical form.
