SIBI-P1 H3701-26
from silver
| Root | כסף (k-s-p) |
| Core Meanings | silver, pale metal, money, longing |
| Semantic Range | silver as a precious metal; monetary silver; money or payment; price; by extension wealth or material value. |
| Conceptual Significance | Silver in the Hebrew Bible serves as a primary medium of exchange and standard of value, symbolizing material wealth and economic power. Its frequent use in comparisons highlights contrasts between spiritual worth and material riches. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (assimilated to מִ־) + noun כֶּסֶף, common masculine singular (absolute or construct form depending on context). Functions either as a source ("from silver") or in comparison ("than silver"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מִכֶּסֶף consists of the preposition מִן ("from" or comparative "than") prefixed to the masculine singular noun כֶּסֶף ("silver"). Rendering it as "from silver" preserves the singular masculine noun and reflects the basic, concrete sense of the root as the pale precious metal that functions as money. |
