SIBI-P1 H3701-05
the silver
| Root | כסף (k-s-p) |
| Core Meanings | silver, pale metal, wealth, money; (verb) to long for, to yearn |
| Semantic Range | Silver as a metal; money or currency; payment or price; wealth or material resources. |
| Conceptual Significance | Silver functioned as a primary medium of exchange and a measure of value in ancient Israel, shaping economic, legal, and cultic life. It often symbolizes material wealth, transactional justice (ransom, purchase, tribute), and at times the tension between spiritual faithfulness and material gain. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix; definite and singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular noun with the definite article ("the") in the absolute state, so the rendering preserves both definiteness and singular number. "Silver" reflects the core nominal sense of כסף as the pale precious metal, which by extension denotes money or wealth. |
