vineyard
| Root | כרם (k-r-m) |
| Core Meanings | cultivated field, vineyard, vine-growing plot, agricultural enclosure |
| Semantic Range | Vineyard, cultivated plot of grapevines, estate of vines, by extension the produce or yield of a vineyard. |
| Conceptual Significance | The vineyard is a central image in Israel’s agrarian life and prophetic symbolism, often representing covenant blessing, fruitfulness, inheritance, or the nation of Israel itself as YHWH’s cultivated planting. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun (absolute or construct state in the cited forms). No pronominal suffixes; number and gender are singular masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כֶּרֶם is a masculine singular common noun in the absolute or construct state, so the faithful rendering preserves its singular sense as "vineyard." The term denotes a specifically cultivated plot of vines rather than a generic field, retaining its agricultural and horticultural focus. |
