and a tenth-portion

Rootעשר (ʿ-ś-r)
Core Meaningsten, tenth, counting by tens, tithe
Semantic Rangea tenth part, one-tenth measure, a tenth of an ephah, a standard grain-offering quantity
Conceptual SignificanceThe עִשָּׂרוֹן is a standard fractional measure frequently used in sacrificial and grain-offering regulations, especially in the Torah. It reflects Israel’s structured system of worship and proportional giving, connecting numerically to the broader biblical theme of the tenth (tithe) as a dedicated portion.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun עִשָּׂרוֹן (HC/Ncmsa). The noun is a quantitative term derived from עֶשֶׂר ("ten") and denotes one-tenth of a standard measure, often an ephah.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עִשָּׂרוֹן derives from the root עשר ("ten") and denotes a fractional measure—one tenth. The rendering "a tenth-portion" preserves the numerical-root connection while expressing the singular form. The prefixed conjunction וְ is represented by "and," and the masculine singular absolute form is reflected by the singular noun "portion."
