Root	ערך (ʿ-r-k)
Core Meanings	to arrange, set in order, array, organize, lay out in sequence
Semantic Range	arrangement, ordered row, set formation, prepared stack (especially of bread), battle line or array
Conceptual Significance	In cultic contexts, מַעֲרֶכֶת refers to the ordered arrangement of the showbread before יהוה, emphasizing intentional order and covenantal regularity in worship. More broadly, it reflects the biblical theme of divinely established order, whether in worship or in battle formation.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וּ ("and") + noun מַעֲרֶכֶת, feminine singular construct (Ncfsc). Derived nominal form from the root ערך, indicating the result or product of arranging.
Rendering Rationale	The noun מַעֲרֶכֶת derives from the root ערך, "to arrange or set in order," and denotes something arranged or set in order. The form is feminine singular in the construct state (Ncfsc) with the prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"), hence "and arrangement-of," preserving both the root idea of ordered arrangement and the singular construct grammar.
