| Semantic Range | material riches, financial resources, abundance of goods, prosperity, occasionally metaphorical abundance |

| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (עֹשֶׁר) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), forming a genitival construction: "the wealth of him" = "his wealth." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֹשֶׁר (ʿôsher) derives from the root עשר, conveying the state of being rich or possessing abundance. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix, thus accurately rendered as "his wealth," preserving both the singular noun and the possessive relationship. |
