SIBI-P1 H727-04
to the gathering-chest
| Root | ארה (ʾ-r-h) |
| Core Meanings | gather, collect, draw together, store |
| Semantic Range | chest, box, coffer, ark (especially the Ark of the Covenant), coffin |
| Conceptual Significance | Most prominently used for the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred chest that gathered and held the tablets of the covenant, symbolizing the gathered testimony of YHWH’s covenant and His enthroned presence among Israel; also used more generally for chests or coffins as containers that hold what is gathered within. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common singular (absolute or construct) with prefixed ל preposition; some forms include the definite article. The noun is singular throughout the occurrences listed. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֲרוֹן (singular) is derived from a root meaning "to gather" or "collect," referring to a container that gathers or holds items. The prefixed ל ("to/for") and the definite article in several forms are reflected in "to the," while the singular form is preserved in "gathering-chest." |
