to one
| Root | אחד (ʾ-ḥ-d) |
| Core Meanings | unity, oneness, integration, singularity |
| Semantic Range | one, a single one, each, every, first (in sequence), a certain one, one and the same, united |
| Conceptual Significance | אֶחָד expresses not only numerical singularity but also the concept of unity or integrated oneness, foundational in biblical theology (e.g., the oneness of יהוה in Deut 6:4) and in describing collective unity among people or things. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, cardinal number, masculine singular absolute (Acmsa) with prefixed preposition לְ (“to/for”). Functions adjectivally or substantivally to denote a single (masculine) entity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective אֶחָד is masculine singular absolute, here prefixed with לְ (“to/for”), yielding “to one.” The rendering preserves the core idea of unity or singularity inherent in the root אחד while accurately reflecting the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
