SIBI-P1 H2549-04

his fifth-part

Rootחמש (ḥ-m-š)
Core Meaningsfive, fivefold quantity, division into fifths
Semantic Rangefifth (ordinal), one-fifth portion, a fifth share, a fifth part of produce, goods, or restitution
Conceptual SignificanceThe concept of a "fifth-part" often appears in legal and economic contexts, especially in laws of restitution or sacred dues, where an added fifth signifies measured compensation or covenantal accountability within Israel’s legal framework.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in construct (חֲמִישִׁית) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("-וֹ"). Denotes a fractional portion: one-fifth of something belonging to him/it.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root חמש (five) and here appears as a feminine singular construct form with a 3rd masculine singular suffix. "His fifth-part" preserves the numerical root idea (a fifth portion) and accurately reflects the singular construct form plus the 3ms pronominal suffix.
