SIBI-P1 H2549-04
his fifth-part
| Root | חמש (ḥ-m-š) |
| Core Meanings | five, fivefold quantity, division into fifths |
| Semantic Range | fifth (ordinal), one-fifth portion, a fifth share, a fifth part of produce, goods, or restitution |
| Conceptual Significance | The 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 Notes | Common 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 Rationale | The 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. |
