to a raiding-band
| Root | גדד (g-d-d) |
| Core Meanings | cut, gash, gather in bands, raid in troops |
| Semantic Range | troop, band of soldiers, raiding party, company, marauding group |
| Conceptual Significance | גְּדוּד evokes the social reality of tribal warfare and raiding in ancient Israel, where loosely organized bands acted as military units; it can also metaphorically convey overwhelming force or organized aggression in prophetic literature. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (to/for) prefixed to a masculine singular noun; attested in both construct and absolute forms in the data (Ncmsc/Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גְּדוּד is a masculine singular term meaning a band or troop, especially one organized for raiding or warfare, reflecting the root idea of cutting or making incursions. The prefixed לְ preposition is preserved as "to," and the singular masculine form is maintained with "a raiding-band." |
