SIBI-P1 H5291-15
her young-women
| Root | נער (n-ʿ-r) |
| Core Meanings | youth, youthful vigor, adolescence, early life |
| Semantic Range | girl, maiden, young woman of marriageable age, female attendant, youthful female servant |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical society, נַעֲרוֹת often denotes young women under the authority of a household head, highlighting stages of life, family structure, and communal identity; the term carries connotations of youthfulness, vulnerability, and emerging womanhood. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine plural noun in construct form (נַעֲרוֹתֵי־) with 3fs pronominal suffix (־הָ), yielding "her young women." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נַעֲרָה derives from the root נער, expressing youthfulness or early life. The form is feminine plural construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix, so "her young-women" preserves the feminine plural sense (not generic "servants") and clearly marks possession by "her." |
