SIBI-P1 H7969-14
three (feminine form)
| Root | שלשׁ (sh-l-sh) |
| Core Meanings | three, triad, threefoldness, thirdness |
| Semantic Range | three; third (in certain contexts); threefold; a triad; occasionally expressing repetition (thrice) in extended usage. |
| Conceptual Significance | The number three often signifies completeness, stability, or confirmed testimony in biblical literature (e.g., three witnesses, threefold patterns), marking fullness within a limited set or divinely ordered structure. |
| Morphological Notes | Cardinal number, feminine singular absolute (HAcfsa). In Hebrew numbers 3–10 exhibit gender polarity, so this feminine form typically modifies masculine nouns. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form שָׁלֹשׁ is the feminine singular absolute form of the cardinal number derived from the root שלשׁ, denoting threefold quantity. The rendering preserves the numeric sense while noting its feminine grammatical form, which in Hebrew governs agreement and gender polarity with counted nouns. |
