SIBI-P1 H3599-01

a holding-pouch

Rootכיס (k-y-s)
Core Meaningscontainer, receptacle, cup, pouch, money-bag
Semantic Rangecup, pouch, purse, money-bag, receptacle for silver or weights
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical contexts, the כיס often represents stored wealth or personal resources, symbolizing economic security, trade, or at times deceit (as in dishonest weights or concealed money). As a container, it reflects the broader biblical motif of stewardship and accountability over entrusted goods.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix. A nominal form related to כּוֹס (cup), sharing the concept of a hollow container.
Rendering RationaleThe noun is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so the rendering reflects a single concrete object with no suffix. "Holding-pouch" preserves the core idea of a receptacle or container inherent in the root כיס, rather than limiting it to modern "purse," thus maintaining the broader semantic link to a vessel or bag.
