SIBI-P1 H5483-06
the leaping horses
| Root | סוס (s-w-s) |
| Core Meanings | leaping, skipping, exulting movement, swift motion |
| Semantic Range | horse; war-horse; mount; by extension swift-moving bird (swallow, crane); symbol of speed and martial strength |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, horses represent speed, military power, and royal might, especially in chariot warfare. Israel’s reliance on or rejection of "the horses" often carries theological weight, contrasting trust in military strength with trust in יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix; definite form indicated by the article and dagesh forte in ס. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סוּס derives from a root conveying leaping or skipping movement, highlighting the energetic motion of the animal. The form הַסּוּסִים is masculine plural absolute with the definite article, so "the leaping horses" preserves both the plural masculine sense and the definite form while reflecting the root idea of lively motion. |
