SIBI-P1 H796-05
and the Ashdodite man
| Root | אשדוד (ʾ-š-d-w-d) |
| Core Meanings | Ashdod, Philistine city, inhabitant of Ashdod |
| Semantic Range | A male inhabitant of Ashdod; a member of the Philistine city of Ashdod; sometimes used collectively for people of that city. |
| Conceptual Significance | Ashdod was one of the five principal Philistine cities. Reference to an "Ashdodite" often signals Philistine identity and foreign cultural influence, particularly in post-exilic contexts where intermarriage and language were concerns (e.g., Nehemiah 13:23-24). |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + definite article הָ + gentilic noun, masculine singular absolute (Ngmsa). The gentilic ending -ִי marks a person belonging to or originating from Ashdod. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form includes the conjunction וְ ("and") and the definite article הָ ("the") attached to a masculine singular gentilic noun. Rendering it as "and the Ashdodite man" preserves the definite, masculine singular sense of the Hebrew while reflecting its identity as a specific male inhabitant of Ashdod. |
