SIBI-P1 `H1817-06`

swinging-doors of

Root	דלה (d-l-h)
Core Meanings	to draw up, lift, hang, suspend
Semantic Range	door-panels, gate-leaves, temple doors, house doors, lids or hinged coverings
Conceptual Significance	Doors in the biblical world mark thresholds between domains—inside and outside, sacred and common, safety and danger. As "swinging" panels, they symbolize both access and exclusion, often carrying theological weight in contexts of divine protection, judgment, or invitation.
Morphological Notes	Hebrew noun, common feminine plural construct (HNcfpc) from דֶּלֶת. The construct state links the noun to a following word in a genitive relationship ("doors of …").
Rendering Rationale	The noun דַּלְתוֹת is the feminine plural construct form of דֶּלֶת, derived from the root דלה, conveying the idea of something hanging or swinging. Rendering it as "swinging-doors of" preserves both the root imagery (a suspended, movable panel) and the feminine plural construct morphology, which requires the sense "doors of" followed by a genitive complement.
