H8671 adjective

SILEX Entry

Definition

Ordinal number indicating sequence in a series: 'ninth.' Used to denote the ninth item, day, month, or member in an ordered list or sequence. Its primary sense is numeric ordinality.

Semantic Range

ninth in sequence, ninth day of the month, ninth month, ninth item/person

Root / Etymology

Derived from the root תשע (t-sh-ʻ), meaning 'nine.' The form תְּשִׁיעִי is the masculine singular ordinal adjective formed from the cardinal number תשע ('nine'), following the standard morphological pattern for Hebrew ordinals.

Historical & Contextual Notes

תְּשִׁיעִי is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to refer to the ninth in a series, most commonly identifying the ninth day of a month (e.g., regarding religious observance or dating of events), the ninth month in the Israelite lunar calendar (Kislev), or the ninth in any ordered grouping. Its usage is limited to formal, usually chronological or enumerative contexts, and does not convey further nuance beyond simple ordering. In priestly and calendrical passages (e.g., Ezekiel, Ezra), it is used to mark time precisely. The form follows regular ordinal patterns; the feminine form תְּשִׁיעִית occurs where grammatically appropriate. English translations typically render this term accurately as 'ninth,' and the semantic range remains stable throughout the biblical corpus.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
