and to Serving-one of Edom
| Root | עבד (ʿ-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | to serve, to work, to labor, to be in service, to worship |
| Semantic Range | to serve as a servant, to perform labor, to be in bondage, to minister, to worship (especially of service to God) |
| Conceptual Significance | The root עבד underlies both ordinary labor and covenantal service or worship. As a personal name, "Serving-one of Edom" reflects identity shaped by service, and in the biblical narrative Obed-edom is notably associated with faithful custodianship of the ark, embodying devoted service in Israel’s worship life. |
| Morphological Notes | וּ (conjunction "and") + לְ (preposition "to") prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun in construct form; עֹבֵד is a Qal active participle from עבד joined with אֱדוֹם as a compound personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name עֹבֵד (ʿōvêd) is the Qal active participle of עבד, meaning "serving one" or "worker," joined in construct with אֱדוֹם (Edom). The prefixed וּלְ adds "and to," reflecting the conjunction and preposition. This rendering preserves the participial sense of ongoing service and the masculine singular proper name form. |
