lands

Rootארץ (ʾ-r-ṣ)
Core Meaningsfirmness, stability, earth, ground, land, territory, realm
Semantic RangeThe root ʾ-r-ṣ encompasses earth as the physical realm between heavens and chaotic waters, specific territories or lands, ground, field, country, and by extension the inhabited world or nations. In construct form, 'lands' emphasizes multiple distinct geographical or political territories.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, ʼerets represents the created realm where God's covenant people dwell and where divine promises of inheritance are fulfilled. The plural construct form 'lands' may emphasize either the diversity of territories within God's dominion or the multiple lands promised to or inhabited by Israel and surrounding nations.
Morphological NotesHNcbpc = Hebrew Noun, common gender, plural, construct state. The word appears three times in the corpus with identical morphology, indicating consistent usage as a plural construct form denoting multiple territories or regions.
Rendering RationaleThe morphology HNcbpc indicates a feminine plural construct form of אֶרֶץ (ʼerets). The rendering 'lands' preserves both the root's semantic connection to firm, stable ground and the plural number required by the morphology. The construct form suggests these lands function as a unified territorial concept rather than isolated entities.
