SIBI-P1 H6239-06
richness
| Root | עשר (ʿ-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | to be rich, to become wealthy, to enrich, abundance, prosperity |
| Semantic Range | material wealth, economic prosperity, abundance of possessions, affluence, figurative abundance or prosperity |
| Conceptual Significance | עֹשֶׁר often signifies tangible prosperity viewed as a sign of blessing, yet biblical wisdom literature also treats it as spiritually precarious, contrasting fleeting material richness with enduring covenantal faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; abstract noun formed from the verbal root עשר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֹשֶׁר derives from the root עשר, "to be rich/to become wealthy," and denotes the state or condition of abundance. As a masculine singular absolute noun (HNcmsa), it is best rendered as the singular abstract "richness," preserving both its grammatical form and its root sense of wealth as a condition rather than discrete items. |
