SIBI-P1 H4196-06
to the slaughter-altar
| Root | זבח (z-b-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to slaughter, to sacrifice, ritual killing, offering |
| Semantic Range | altar for sacrifice, place of ritual slaughter, cultic altar (whether of YHWH or foreign worship), central or local sacrificial installation |
| Conceptual Significance | The מִזְבֵּחַ is the central site of sacrificial worship in Israel’s covenant life, representing approach to YHWH through blood and offering. As the designated place of ritual slaughter, it embodies atonement, thanksgiving, covenant renewal, and divine-human encounter. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל ("to/for") with assimilated definite article ("the") prefixed to a common masculine singular noun in the absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִזְבֵּחַ derives from the root זבח (“to slaughter, sacrifice”) and denotes the place of sacrificial slaughter. Rendering it "slaughter-altar" preserves the concrete root sense rather than using the more generalized "altar." The prefixed לַ־ (lamed + definite article) is reflected in "to the," and the singular masculine form is maintained in the singular English noun. |
