for his flesh-kin

Rootשׁאר (sh-ʾ-r)
Core Meaningsremnant, remainder, what is left, flesh, blood-kinship
Semantic Rangeflesh (physical body), meat/food, close blood-relative, near kinsman, one’s own bodily kin
Conceptual Significanceשְׁאֵר expresses kinship in terms of shared flesh, highlighting the embodied, covenantal bond of blood relations in Israelite society. It underscores familial responsibility and nearness rooted in shared physical lineage.
Morphological NotesNoun masculine singular construct (שְׁאֵר) + 3ms suffix (וֹ, "his") with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for").
Rendering RationaleThe noun שְׁאֵר carries the root sense of "flesh" as that which remains or is closely bound, extending to blood-relatives. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix ("his"), preceded by the preposition לְ ("for/to"), hence "for his flesh-kin," preserving both the root imagery and the grammatical details.
