breadth

Rootרחב (r-ḥ-b)
Core Meaningsto be wide, broad, spacious; to enlarge; openness, expanse
Semantic RangePhysical width or measurement; spatial expanse; figurative breadth such as abundance, freedom, or vastness.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical literature, breadth can signify not only physical dimensions (of land, buildings, objects) but also metaphorical spaciousness—often associated with divine blessing, freedom from constraint, or the vast scope of YHWH’s provision and dominion.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute (HNcmsa) and construct (HNcmsc) states. No pronominal suffix in the cited forms.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רֹחַב derives from the root רחב, conveying the idea of width or spaciousness. As a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct), it is best rendered in English as the singular "breadth," preserving both the root sense of broadness and the singular form indicated by the morphology.
