| Root | קום (q-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | to rise, to stand, to arise, to be established, to set up |
| Semantic Range | physical location, dwelling place, site, space, region, position, condition, established setting |
| Conceptual Significance | מָקוֹם often conveys more than geography; it can denote an appointed or established place within divine order. In biblical theology, it frequently refers to sacred space—especially the place YHWH chooses for His Name to dwell—emphasizing divine establishment and presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state from the root קוּם; the construct form links it grammatically to a following genitive noun ("place of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | מָקוֹם derives from קוּם ("to rise, stand"), originally denoting a place where one stands. Rendering it as "standing-place" preserves the concrete root imagery of arising or standing. The form is masculine singular construct (HNcmsc), which is reflected by the singular "standing-place" followed by "of," indicating its bound relationship to a following noun. |
