at Hill-Height (Gibeon)
| Root | גבע (g-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | hill, height, elevation, mound |
| Semantic Range | A specific Canaanite/Hivite city; by etymology, an elevated or hilly settlement; a significant tribal and cultic site in Benjamin’s territory. |
| Conceptual Significance | Gibeon was a major highland city whose name reflects its elevated terrain. It plays a key role in Israel’s early history (Joshua’s treaty, the sun standing still, and later tabernacle associations), linking the physical idea of elevation with moments of covenantal and divine intervention. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in/at") prefixed to a proper masculine singular noun (Np). The form is a place name derived from the common noun גֶּבַע (hill). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name גִּבְעוֹן derives from the root גבע, meaning "hill" or "elevated place." Rendering it as "Hill-Height" preserves the geographical sense embedded in the name, while "at" reflects the prefixed preposition בְּ. The proper noun is singular, referring to one specific elevated settlement. |
