SIBI-P1 H68-08
with the building-stones
| Root | אבן (ʾ-b-n) |
| Core Meanings | stone, building-stone, foundation material, weight |
| Semantic Range | stones, building stones, foundation stones, precious stones, hailstones, stone weights, memorial stones |
| Conceptual Significance | Stones in the Hebrew Bible function as foundational building materials, covenant memorials, altar components, and symbols of permanence and witness. Their connection to building underscores themes of establishment, testimony, and enduring structure in Israel’s worship and communal life. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + definite article (assimilated) + noun common feminine plural absolute of אֶבֶן (H68). The plural form אֲבָנִים is feminine; the prefixed article makes it definite: "the stones." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form בָּאֲבָנִים consists of the preposition ב ("with/by/in") prefixed to the definite feminine plural noun אֲבָנִים ("the stones"). Rendering it as "with the building-stones" preserves the feminine plural definiteness and reflects the root’s association with building and structural stone. |
