SIBI-P1 H6147-01

Awake-One

Rootעור (ʿ-w-r)
Core Meaningswakefulness, arousing, stirring, vigilance
Semantic Rangeawake, watchful, vigilant; used as a personal name
Conceptual SignificanceAs a personal name borne by two Israelites (notably Judah’s firstborn in Genesis 38), it carries the connotation of wakefulness or vigilance. In narrative context, the meaning may stand in ironic tension with the moral failure and judgment associated with Judah’s son Er.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper noun (HNp); likely derived from a verbal root עור in a stative/adjectival sense meaning "awake" or "watchful."
Rendering RationaleThe name עֵר derives from the root עור meaning "to awaken" or "to rouse." Rendering it as "Awake-One" preserves the root sense of wakefulness or vigilance while reflecting the masculine singular proper noun form (HNp).
