SIBI-P1 H2320-15
to the new-moon month
| Root | חדש (ḥ-d-sh) |
| Core Meanings | newness, renewal, fresh beginning, restoration |
| Semantic Range | new moon (lunar phase), month (as marked by the new moon), monthly cycle, calendrical period |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew calendar, the month begins with the sighting of the new moon, linking timekeeping to visible renewal in creation. Thus חֹדֶשׁ embodies cyclical renewal, covenantal rhythms, and appointed times central to Israel’s worship and communal life. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with definite article (assimilated) + masculine singular noun absolute (Ncmsa). The form is singular and definite: "to the month/new moon." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹדֶשׁ derives from the root חדש, conveying newness or renewal. In its masculine singular absolute form with the prefixed preposition לַ ("to the"), it denotes movement toward or reference to the specific new-moon period—hence "to the new-moon month," preserving both the root idea of renewal and the singular masculine form. |
