from a wife of
| Root | אנש (ʾ-n-sh) |
| Core Meanings | human being, mortal, woman, wife, femininity in relation to man |
| Semantic Range | woman, wife, female person, each (in distributive sense), member of a household identified by marital status |
| Conceptual Significance | אִשָּׁה expresses covenantal and social identity within Israelite society, especially in marital and household contexts. In construct ("wife of"), it highlights relational belonging and family structure, key themes in genealogical, legal, and narrative texts. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (assimilated to מֵ before aleph) + noun feminine common singular construct (אֵשֶׁת) from אִשָּׁה. The construct form links the noun to a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition מִן ("from") with the feminine singular construct of אִשָּׁה ("woman, wife"). The construct state requires a following complement ("of…"), so "from a wife of" preserves both the relational (construct) force and the feminine singular form. |
