and a flock-member
| Root | שאה (š-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | roaring, desolation, driving out, pushing forth |
| Semantic Range | an individual sheep, goat, lamb, kid, or small head of livestock from the flock |
| Conceptual Significance | שֶׂה frequently appears in sacrificial contexts, especially the Passover offering, where the individual flock-member represents household identification, substitution, and covenantal deliverance within Israel’s worship life. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וָ prefixed to a common-gender singular absolute noun (Ncbsa). The noun is grammatically singular and may refer to either a sheep or a goat. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וָ ("and") plus the singular absolute noun שֶׂה, a common-gender term for an individual animal from the flock. "Flock-member" preserves the collective root sense of an animal driven out to graze, while accurately reflecting the singular number indicated by the morphology (Ncbsa). |
