SIBI-P1 H6223-01
a wealth-filled man
| Root | עשר (ʿ-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | wealth, richness, abundance, prosperity |
| Semantic Range | material wealth, economic prosperity, social prominence, abundance of resources, figurative richness |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical literature, the עָשִׁיר represents one marked by material abundance, often contrasted with the poor. The term carries ethical and theological weight, highlighting themes of stewardship, justice, dependence on God, and the fleeting nature of earthly wealth. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). Functions substantivally to denote a rich man. Distinct from the homograph אָשִׁיר (HVqi1cs) from שׁיר, "I will sing." |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective עָשִׁיר (masculine singular absolute) derives from the root עשר, denoting wealth and abundance. Rendering it as "a wealth-filled man" preserves the concrete sense of being characterized by abundance while clearly reflecting the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
