SIBI-P1 H8083-07

and eight

Rootשׁמן (š-m-n)
Core Meaningsfatness, fullness, richness, abundance
Semantic Rangeeight; eighth (ordinal in some contexts); a group of eight; symbolic surplus beyond completeness
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, eight can signify surplus beyond the completeness of seven, sometimes associated with renewal or a new beginning (e.g., circumcision on the eighth day), reflecting the idea of fullness extending beyond a completed cycle.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ ("and") + cardinal number; masculine singular absolute (Acmsa). The masculine form שְׁמֹנָה is typically used when counting feminine nouns.
Rendering RationaleThe form וּשְׁמֹנָה consists of the conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to the masculine singular absolute cardinal "eight." While the etymological root שׁמן conveys fullness or plumpness—suggesting surplus beyond seven—the standard cardinal sense is preserved here, accurately reflecting the masculine singular form.
