SIBI-P1 H1416-06
the raiding band
| Root | גדד (g-d-d) |
| Core Meanings | cut, gash, raid, band together, press in troops |
| Semantic Range | troop, band of soldiers, raiding party, company of warriors, marauding group, military unit |
| Conceptual Significance | גְּדוּד reflects the tribal and military realities of the ancient Near East, where organized raiding bands were instruments of warfare, survival, and at times divine judgment. The term can denote both human military forces and divinely permitted incursions, highlighting themes of conflict, covenant faithfulness, and retribution. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix; functions as a definite singular collective entity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גְּדוּד derives from the root גדד, which conveys cutting or pressing in, and by extension the idea of a raiding or invading troop. Rendering it as "the raiding band" preserves both the martial, incursive sense of the root and the definite masculine singular form indicated by the morphology (Ncmsa with article). |
