according to her kind

Rootמין (m-y-n)
Core Meaningsportioning, classification, kind, species, category
Semantic Rangekind, species, type, class, category, division according to natural or created distinctions
Conceptual SignificanceCentral in Genesis 1 and related creation texts, this term underscores the ordered differentiation within creation—living beings reproducing within divinely established boundaries. It reflects a worldview of purposeful classification and structured diversity within YHWH’s creative design.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ + masculine singular noun in construct (מִין) + 3fs pronominal suffix (־הּ), literally "to/according to her kind."
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִין ("kind, category") derives from a root meaning "to portion out" or classify. The form מִינָהּ is masculine singular with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix ("her kind"), and the prefixed לְ conveys relation or conformity ("according to"), yielding "according to her kind." This preserves both the root sense of classification and the feminine singular suffix required by the morphology.
