heads of

Rootראש (r-ʾ-š)
Core Meaningshead, top, summit, beginning, chief, first place
Semantic Rangephysical head; top or summit; beginning or first part; chief, leader, or ruler; principal or foremost element; total or sum
Conceptual Significanceרֹאשׁ conveys prominence and primacy—whether spatial (top), temporal (beginning), or social (chief/leader). In Israel’s tribal and covenantal structure, "heads" often denotes recognized leaders or representative authorities, highlighting ordered leadership under YHWH’s sovereignty.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine noun, plural, construct state (HNcmpc). The construct form links this noun to a following word, expressing possession or association ("heads of X").
Rendering RationaleThe form is masculine plural construct of רֹאשׁ, meaning "head." Rendering it as "heads of" preserves the concrete root image (a physical head as the highest or leading part) while reflecting the masculine plural number and the construct state, which requires a following genitive relationship ("heads of …").
