SIBI-P1 H1687-03
the oracle-chamber
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix. Refers to a specific, defined location. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דְּבִיר derives from the root דבר (“to speak”), likely in the sense of a divine utterance or oracle. Rendering it as “oracle-chamber” preserves the connection to speech while reflecting the masculine singular noun with the definite article (“the”) indicated by the morphology (Ncmsa with prefixed article). |
