Core Meaningsrepeat, do again, change, double
Semantic Rangesecond (in order), another, again, a second time, repetition of an action
Conceptual SignificanceThis term highlights recurrence or repetition in narrative and legal contexts, often marking renewed action, reaffirmation, or intensified emphasis.

Morphological NotesFeminine singular ordinal adjective used adverbially; absolute state. Functions as an adverb meaning "for the second time" or "again."
Rendering Rationaleשֵׁנִית is the feminine singular form of the ordinal "second," derived from the root שנה (“to repeat, do again”). The rendering "a second time" preserves the root idea of repetition and reflects the feminine singular form, which commonly agrees with an implied feminine noun such as "time" (פעם).
