SIBI-P1 H7607-04
his own flesh-kin
| Root | שׁאר (š-ʾ-r) |
| Core Meanings | remainder, remnant, what is left, flesh, blood-kin |
| Semantic Range | physical flesh or body; food; that which remains; blood relative; near kinsman or kinswoman |
| Conceptual Significance | שְׁאֵר often expresses the intimate bond of shared flesh, grounding Israelite concepts of kinship, inheritance, and sexual boundaries. It reflects the covenantal and familial solidarity of those who are "one flesh," underscoring both relational closeness and legal responsibility within the community. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form with a 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"). The construct relationship plus suffix makes the noun definite and possessive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שְׁאֵר derives from the root שׁאר, conveying what remains or belongs as one’s own flesh. As a masculine singular construct with a 3ms suffix, it denotes something belonging to him—here, "his" flesh in the sense of his own bodily kin. "His own flesh-kin" preserves both the root idea of shared flesh and the possessive masculine singular form. |
