SIBI-P1 H259-12
one (feminine singular)
| Root | אחד (ʾ-ḥ-d) |
| Core Meanings | unity, oneness, singleness, integration, being joined |
| Semantic Range | one, a single, each, every, first (in some contexts), one and the same, a certain (one) |
| Conceptual Significance | אֶחָת reflects the biblical emphasis on unity and singularity rooted in אחד, a concept foundational to Israel’s confession of the oneness of YHWH (e.g., Deut 6:4). Even in its simple numerical use, it carries the broader Hebrew idea of integrated oneness rather than mere numerical counting. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal numeral functioning adjectivally; feminine singular absolute form of אֶחָד (H259). Used with feminine singular nouns to denote the number one or a single unit. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אֶחָת is the feminine singular absolute form of אֶחָד, derived from the root meaning "to be one" or "to unite." Rendering it as "one (feminine singular)" preserves both the core concept of unity and the grammatical requirement that it modifies a feminine singular noun. |
