SIBI-P1 H259-07

in one (feminine)

Rootאחד (ʾ-ḥ-d)
Core Meaningsunity, oneness, singularity, wholeness, being joined as one
Semantic Rangeone (feminine), a single (feminine), one and the same (feminine), first (feminine, in some contexts), unity expressed through a feminine referent
Conceptual SignificanceThe root אחד expresses the foundational biblical concept of oneness and unity, central to Israel’s confession of YHWH’s oneness (Deut 6:4). Even in simple numerical usage, it carries the broader idea of singularity and indivisible unity within creation and covenant thought.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") + adjective cardinal feminine singular absolute of אֶחָד. The feminine form אֶחָת agrees with a feminine noun understood from context.
Rendering RationaleThe form בְּאֶחָת consists of the preposition בְּ ("in") attached to the feminine singular form of the numeral אֶחָד ("one"). Rendering it as "in one (feminine)" preserves both the core idea of unity/singleness from the root אחד and the feminine singular grammatical form indicated by Acfsa.
