SIBI-P1 H7969-21
and three
| Root | שלש (sh-l-sh) |
| Core Meanings | three, triad, triplet, threefold grouping |
| Semantic Range | the number three; a triad; third (in some contexts); threefold quantity; occasionally part of idiomatic expressions denoting repetition or completeness |
| Conceptual Significance | The number three in the Hebrew Bible often conveys completeness, stability, or established pattern (e.g., threefold structures, three days, three witnesses). Its repeated narrative and legal use underscores sufficiency and confirmation within Israelite thought. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + cardinal number, feminine singular absolute (Acfsa). The feminine form שְׁלֹשׁ is used when enumerating feminine nouns. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ/וּ ("and") prefixed to the feminine singular cardinal number שְׁלֹשׁ ("three"). English numerals do not mark grammatical gender, so "and three" preserves the numeric sense, while the underlying feminine form reflects agreement with a feminine noun in context. |
