SIBI-P1 `H2076-09`

to slaughter-as-sacrifice

Root	זבח (z-b-ḥ)
Core Meanings	slaughtering, sacrificial killing, ritual offering by bloodshed
Semantic Range	to slaughter an animal; to perform a ritual sacrifice; to offer a sacrificial meal; to kill in a cultic context
Conceptual Significance	זבח expresses the central act of Israelite worship—approaching יהוה through the ritual slaughter of an animal. It conveys not merely killing, but covenantal offering, shared sacrificial meals, atonement, and devotion within the sacrificial system.
Morphological Notes	Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct with prefixed לְ ("to"). No person, number, or gender marking; expresses purpose or intent.
Rendering Rationale	The form לִזְבֹּחַ is a Qal infinitive construct with prefixed לְ, meaning "to slaughter." Because the root זבח specifically denotes slaughter in a sacrificial context, "to slaughter-as-sacrifice" preserves both the concrete act of killing and its ritual purpose, while reflecting the infinitive form.
