and great
| Root | רבב (r-b-b) |
| Core Meanings | multiplicity, abundance, greatness, increase, magnitude |
| Semantic Range | great, many, much, numerous, abundant, mighty, chief, master, captain, elder |
| Conceptual Significance | The term conveys not only numerical abundance but also social or qualitative greatness. In biblical usage it can denote magnitude in number, power, or status, reflecting the Hebrew worldview in which increase and greatness are signs of blessing, authority, or significance. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to adjective רַב (HC/Aamsa, HC/Aamsc): masculine singular adjective in absolute or construct state. No pronominal suffix. Agreement determined by the noun it modifies. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective רַב derives from the root רבב, expressing abundance or greatness. The form is masculine singular (absolute or construct) with the conjunction וְ (“and”), so the rendering "and great" preserves both the adjectival sense of magnitude and the singular masculine agreement indicated by the morphology. |
