SIBI-P1 H2320-01
in the new-moon month
| Root | חדש (ḥ-d-š) |
| Core Meanings | newness, renewal, to make new, to renew, to restore |
| Semantic Range | new moon (the lunar phase), month (lunar month), monthly cycle, appointed time marked by lunar renewal |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical calendar, the month begins with the sighting of the new moon, tying timekeeping to visible renewal in creation. The term reflects Israel’s rhythm of sacred time, with festivals and offerings often appointed at the new moon, emphasizing themes of renewal and covenantal order. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article (בַּ־) + noun חֹדֶשׁ, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix; definite by article. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹדֶשׁ derives from the root חדש, expressing newness or renewal, originally referring to the renewed moon. The prefixed בַּ־ combines the preposition "in" with the definite article "the," and the noun is masculine singular absolute, hence "in the new-moon month," preserving both its singular form and its root sense of renewal. |
