SIBI-P1 H5483-26
and a leaping horse
| Root | סוס (s-w-s) |
| Core Meanings | to leap, skip, spring, exult |
| Semantic Range | horse (especially warhorse), mount, steed; by extension swift birds such as swallow or crane (from rapid, darting motion) |
| Conceptual Significance | The horse in the Hebrew Bible symbolizes strength, speed, and military power. Its association with leaping motion underscores vigor and vitality, while its frequent linkage with warfare highlights the tension between human reliance on military might and trust in YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ ("and") + noun, common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). No definite article; singular, masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סוּס derives from a root meaning "to leap" or "to spring," reflecting the animal’s bounding motion. The form is a conjunction וְ plus a masculine singular common noun in the absolute state, so it is rendered "and a leaping horse," preserving both the root imagery and the singular masculine form. |
