and Hashum
Chashum is a proper masculine name referring to an Israelite individual or, more broadly, the head of a family or clan, attested in post-exilic genealogical and covenantal lists. The meaning possibly relates to 'wealthy' or 'enriched,' but the word exclusively functions as a proper name in biblical contexts. The broader semantic range includes use as a personal name, with an implied positive connotation of abundance or enrichment.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2828-02
Enriched One
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular noun (personal name), nominal pattern; prefixed conjunction וְ in surface form but lexeme itself is singular masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine proper name derived from the root חשם, associated with wealth and enrichment. Rendering it as "Enriched One" preserves the attributive sense of the root while reflecting its nominal, masculine singular usage. |
