SIBI-P1 H3599-01
a holding-pouch
| Root | כיס (k-y-s) |
| Core Meanings | container, receptacle, cup, pouch, money-bag |
| Semantic Range | cup, pouch, purse, money-bag, receptacle for silver or weights |
| Conceptual Significance | In 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 Notes | Common 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 Rationale | The 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. |
