SIBI-P1 H3967-11
and two-hundreds
| Root | מאה (m-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | hundred, numerical fullness, full measure, large quantified unit |
| Semantic Range | the number one hundred; two hundred (in dual form); multiples of a hundred; figuratively a large or complete quantity; hundredfold increase |
| Conceptual Significance | As a base unit in Israelite reckoning, "hundred" functions in census lists, military organization, economic valuation, and covenantal blessings (e.g., hundredfold return). The dual form underscores precise enumeration within communal and covenantal structures. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to the dual absolute form מָאתַיִם of the feminine noun מֵאָה ("hundred"). The dual ending -ַיִם indicates exactly two units of a hundred. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מָאתַיִם is the dual of מֵאָה ("hundred"), literally meaning "two hundreds." The prefixed וּ adds "and." Rendering it as "and two-hundreds" preserves the explicit dual form in Hebrew rather than smoothing it into the English idiom "two hundred." |
