SIBI-P1 H6629-10
for their roaming-flock
| Root | צאן (ṣ-ʾ-n) |
| Core Meanings | migration, roaming, flocking together, small livestock |
| Semantic Range | flock (sheep or goats), small livestock, pastoral wealth, figurative reference to a group of people under care |
| Conceptual Significance | צֹאן reflects the pastoral economy central to ancient Israelite life, symbolizing provision, wealth, vulnerability, and covenant care. It also underlies the common biblical metaphor of people as a flock under divine or royal shepherding. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common (collective) singular construct + 3mp pronominal suffix, with prefixed לְ preposition; literally "for/to their flock." Though singular in form, it denotes a collective group. |
| Rendering Rationale | צֹאן is a collective singular noun referring to a flock of small livestock, likely from a root conveying migration or roaming. The form is singular construct with a 3rd masculine plural suffix ("their") and prefixed לְ ("for/to"), so "for their roaming-flock" preserves the collective singular sense while reflecting the possessive suffix and preposition. |
