SIBI-P1 H8081-09
from oil (fat-richness)
| Root | שׁמן (sh-m-n) |
| Core Meanings | fatness, richness, luxuriance, abundance |
| Semantic Range | Olive oil, anointing oil, ointment, fatness, richness, fertility, prosperity, luxuriance (literal and figurative). |
| Conceptual Significance | Oil in the Hebrew Bible signifies abundance, blessing, consecration, and joy. As a product of agricultural prosperity and a key element in anointing rituals, שֶׁמֶן embodies both material richness and covenantal favor, symbolizing divine provision and sanctification. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (absolute or construct in various occurrences) שֶׁמֶן with prefixed preposition מִן ("from"), assimilated before the shin (dagesh forte). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֶׁמֶן (shemen) derives from the root שׁמן, conveying the idea of fatness and richness. The prefixed preposition מִן (assimilated here as מִשֶּׁ-) means "from" (and in some contexts "than" for comparison). The rendering "from oil (fat-richness)" preserves both the concrete substance and its root sense of richness, while reflecting the masculine singular noun form with prefixed preposition. |
