SIBI-P1 H7892-01
in the song
| Root | שיר (š-y-r) |
| Core Meanings | singing, song, musical expression, lyrical proclamation |
| Semantic Range | a song, act of singing, musical composition, lyrical praise, chant |
| Conceptual Significance | Song in the Hebrew Scriptures is a primary vehicle for worship, remembrance, and proclamation. It embodies communal memory and theological confession, expressing covenant faith, lament, thanksgiving, and victory through musical declaration. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + definite article + noun common singular absolute (שִׁיר). The dagesh in שּׁ marks assimilation of the definite article after the prefixed preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form בַּשִּׁיר consists of the preposition בְּ ("in/with") prefixed to the definite singular noun שִׁיר ("song"), with the article assimilated ("the song"). Rendering it "in the song" preserves the singular form and reflects its derivation from the root שיר, "to sing." |
