SIBI-P1 H6239-08

and richness

Rootעשר (ʿ-š-r)
Core Meaningsrichness, abundance, prosperity, becoming wealthy
Semantic Rangematerial wealth, riches, economic prosperity, abundance of resources, figurative fullness or prosperity
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical literature, עֹשֶׁר often signifies tangible blessing and societal standing, yet it can also highlight the transient or morally testing nature of material abundance within covenantal theology.
Morphological NotesConjunction וָ + noun עֹשֶׁר; common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix; functions as a standalone abstract noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֹשֶׁר derives from the root עשר meaning "to be rich" or "to become wealthy." Rendering it as "richness" preserves the core idea of a state or quality of abundance rather than merely material assets. The prefixed conjunction וָ is reflected by "and," and the masculine singular absolute form is represented by the singular abstract noun "richness."
