to the trees
| Root | עץץ (ʿ-ṣ-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | firmness, hardness, solidity, tree, wood |
| Semantic Range | tree, trees, wood, timber, wooden objects, gallows, staff, plank, material for construction or fuel |
| Conceptual Significance | Trees and wood are central in biblical imagery—symbols of life, stability, and blessing, yet also materials for idols, tools, and instruments of judgment. The term can evoke both creation’s vitality and humanity’s use of creation for worship or rebellion. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לָ) + noun masculine common plural absolute (עֵצִים). No pronominal suffix; plural masculine form indicated by -ים ending. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵץ denotes a tree or wood, deriving from a root conveying firmness or solidity. The form עֵצִים is masculine plural absolute (“trees”), and the prefixed לָ combines the preposition לְ (“to/for”) with the definite article, yielding “to the trees,” preserving both plurality and definiteness. |
