SIBI-P1 H2688-01
in Division-of-the-Palm
| Root | חצץ (ḥ-ṣ-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | to cut, divide, separate, partition |
| Semantic Range | A geographical location in Judah, associated with an oasis or palm grove; traditionally identified with En-gedi. The name conveys the idea of a divided or partitioned palm grove. |
| Conceptual Significance | Hazazon-tamar appears in accounts of early conflicts in the land (e.g., Genesis 14), situating covenant history within real geography. Its name evokes an oasis marked by separated or clustered palms, symbolizing both fertility and strategic refuge in the wilderness. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") prefixed to a proper noun (Np), singular place name. The noun is a compound formed from חצץ (division) and תמר (palm tree). |
| Rendering Rationale | The place name derives from the root חצץ (to divide or cut) combined with תמר (palm tree), yielding the sense "Division-of-the-Palm." The prefixed בְּ preposition is preserved with "in," and as a singular proper place name (Np), it is rendered as a singular locality. |
