SIBI-P1 H3383-04
to the Descender
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun masculine singular (Np) with prefixed preposition לְ + definite article (assimilated to לַ). Refers to a specific geographical entity, the river Jordan. |
| Rendering Rationale | יַרְדֵּן (Yardēn) derives from the root ירד, meaning "to descend." The name likely denotes "the Descender," referring to the river’s continual downward flow from the heights of Hermon to the Dead Sea. The prefixed לַ combines the preposition לְ ("to") with the definite article, yielding "to the," and the noun is masculine singular proper, preserved here as a singular title. |
