SIBI-P1 H8141-26

his cycle-year

Rootשנה (sh-n-h)
Core Meaningsto repeat, to change, to do again; cycle, yearly revolution
Semantic Rangea calendar year; a cycle of seasons; a regnal year; age or lifetime; annually or yearly span
Conceptual SignificanceThe "year" in biblical thought marks divinely ordered cycles—agricultural, liturgical, and regnal—reflecting appointed times and recurring seasons established by YHWH. As a measure of covenantal history and personal lifespan, it situates human events within sacred, repeating rhythms of time.
Morphological NotesHebrew noun, common feminine singular construct (שְׁנַת) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (-וֹ), yielding "year of him" or "his year."
Rendering RationaleThe noun שָׁנֶה derives from the root שנה, conveying repetition or cyclical return. Rendering it as "cycle-year" preserves this sense of recurring revolution, while the 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix is accurately reflected by "his." The feminine singular construct form governs the possessive relationship.
