SIBI-P1 H6241-02
a tenth-portion
| Root | עשר (ʿ-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | ten, tenth, tenfold measure, numerical completeness in a set of ten |
| Semantic Range | a tenth part, a tithe portion, a tenth of an ephah (dry measure), a prescribed fractional offering |
| Conceptual Significance | This term is central in the sacrificial system, specifying the measured grain portion accompanying offerings. It reflects the ordered structure of Israel’s worship, where offerings are apportioned in precise tenth-parts, reinforcing themes of proportion, dedication, and covenantal obedience. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (absolute or construct in some occurrences), derived from עֶשֶׂר ("ten"), denoting a fractional measure—one-tenth of a larger unit, often an ephah in cultic contexts. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is a masculine singular form derived from the root meaning "ten." Rendering it as "a tenth-portion" preserves its identity as one part out of ten while reflecting its singular grammatical form and its function as a defined fractional unit. |
