SIBI-P1 H8099-01
the Shimonite (hearing-descendant)
| Root | שמע (š-m-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | hear, listen, heed, obey |
| Semantic Range | A member of the tribe of Simeon; a descendant of Shimʿon; one belonging to the Simeonite clan. |
| Conceptual Significance | As a tribal designation, this term identifies covenantal lineage within Israel. The underlying root שמע (“hear”) recalls the naming of Shimʿon in Genesis 29:33, where YHWH “heard,” embedding the idea of divine attentiveness within the tribe’s identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) + gentilic noun, masculine singular absolute (Ngmsa). The gentilic ending ־ִי (-î) denotes membership in a clan or tribal lineage; here, a single male member of the tribe of Shimʿon. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a masculine singular gentilic with the definite article, referring to one male member of the clan descended from Shimʿon (Simeon). Since the personal name Shimʿon derives from the root שמע (“to hear”), the rendering preserves the ancestral connection to “hearing” while accurately reflecting the singular masculine form with definiteness: “the Shimonite.” |
