SIBI-P1 H6010-03

in the deep-valley

Rootעמק (ʿ-m-q)
Core Meaningsdepth, deepness, to be deep, to make deep
Semantic Rangevalley, broad depression, lowland plain, deep ravine, geographical basin; often part of place names
Conceptual SignificanceValleys in the Hebrew Bible are places of habitation, agriculture, travel, and frequently battle. As "deep" places, they can symbolize both vulnerability and fertility, contrasting with the heights of mountains and serving as settings for decisive historical and theological events.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article (בָּ־) + noun עֵמֶק, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa).
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵמֶק derives from the root עמק, conveying depth or deepness. Rendering it as "deep-valley" preserves the root idea of depth rather than using a generic term. The prefixed בָּ־ (beth with definite article) is reflected in "in the," and the masculine singular form is maintained with the singular "valley."
