and a tenth-portion of
| Root | עשר (ʿ-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | ten, tenth, numerical completeness in a base-ten grouping, tithe |
| Semantic Range | tenth (ordinal), tenth part, tithe, one-tenth portion of a whole, occasionally a tenth month (feminine form) depending on context |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of a tenth carries covenantal and cultic significance in Israelite practice, especially in relation to tithes and offerings, where a tenth portion symbolizes consecrated measure and ordered devotion within the base-ten structure of Hebrew reckoning. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + adjective, ordinal, feminine singular, construct (Aofsc). Used substantively to denote a fractional tenth in construct with a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective עֲשִׂירִית is a feminine singular ordinal in the construct state, functioning substantivally as "a tenth (part) of." Rendering it as "a tenth-portion of" preserves its derivation from the root meaning "ten" while clearly reflecting the singular form and construct relationship. The prefixed conjunction וַ is represented by "and." |
