SIBI-P1 H753-03
his length
| Root | ארך (ʾ-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | length, longness, extension, prolonging, duration |
| Semantic Range | physical length or measurement, spatial extension, duration of time, longevity (e.g., "length of days"), figuratively endurance or extent |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, "length" often conveys more than measurement; it can signify longevity as divine blessing ("length of days"), the measured dimensions of sacred structures, or the extent of judgment or mercy. The root idea of extension underscores themes of enduring life and divinely appointed measure. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (אֹרֶךְ) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his length." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֹרֶךְ derives from the root ארך, meaning "to be long" or "to prolong." In the construct state with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("-his"), it literally denotes "the length of him," hence "his length," preserving both the root idea of extension and the masculine singular possession indicated by the morphology. |
