SIBI-P1 H8081-26
and fat-rich oil
| Root | שׁמן (š-m-n) |
| Core Meanings | fatness, richness, luxuriance, abundance |
| Semantic Range | olive oil, perfumed oil, anointing oil, grease, richness, fertility, abundance (figurative) |
| Conceptual Significance | Oil in the Hebrew Bible symbolizes material blessing, covenantal abundance, healing, consecration, and joy. Its association with "fatness" underscores divine provision and agricultural prosperity, and it plays a central role in anointing kings, priests, and sacred objects. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to a masculine singular noun (שֶׁמֶן). Forms include both absolute (Ncmsa) and construct (Ncmsc) states; singular masculine throughout. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֶׁמֶן derives from the root שׁמן, conveying the idea of fatness or richness. Rendering it as "fat-rich oil" preserves the concrete sense of oily fatness inherent in the root, rather than reducing it to a generic "oil." The conjunction וְ ("and") is retained, and the masculine singular form is reflected in the singular mass noun "oil." |
