SIBI-P1 H7393-05

the chariotry

Rootרכב (r-k-b)
Core Meaningsto ride, to mount, to bear upon, to carry as a vehicle
Semantic Rangechariot, chariot-team, chariot-force, cavalry, riding-vehicle, by extension upper millstone (as the riding stone)
Conceptual Significanceרֶכֶב represents military strength and royal power in the biblical world, especially in contrast to reliance on יהוה. Israel’s kings were warned against multiplying chariotry, underscoring the tension between human military reliance and covenantal trust.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun, absolute state, with prefixed definite article (הָ). Though singular in form, it frequently carries a collective sense.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רֶכֶב derives from the root רכב ("to ride, mount"), denoting that which is ridden or used for riding. Although grammatically masculine singular with the definite article ("the"), it often functions as a collective noun referring to a body of chariots; "the chariotry" preserves the singular form while conveying its collective force.
