| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, feminine singular, absolute state, with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form שְׁמֹנֶה is the feminine singular absolute cardinal number meaning "eight." Although etymologically related to the root שמן ("to be fat, plump"), its established lexical sense in Biblical Hebrew is the numeral "eight," which must be preserved here as a cardinal quantity. |
