SIBI-P1 H4327-02
according to its own kind
| Root | מין (m-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | portioning, classification, kind, species, category |
| Semantic Range | kind, species, class, category, sort; a distinct grouping within creation based on shared characteristics |
| Conceptual Significance | Prominent in Genesis 1, this term underscores the ordered structure of creation, where living beings reproduce within divinely established categories. It reflects the biblical emphasis on boundaries, differentiation, and the intentional ordering of life according to distinct kinds. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/according to") + masculine singular construct noun מִין + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix הוּ ("his/its"). The construct form links the noun to the suffix, yielding "its kind." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִין (kind, species) derives from a root meaning "to portion out" or classify. In construct form with the 3ms suffix (מִינֵהוּ) and prefixed לְ, the phrase literally means "according to its kind," preserving the singular masculine reference ("its") and the sense of classification inherent in the root. |
