SIBI-P1 H5656-09
in the service-work of
| Root | עבד (ʿ-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | work, service, labor, servitude, cultivation |
| Semantic Range | labor, service, ministry, servitude, occupational duty, ritual service, agricultural work |
| Conceptual Significance | עֲבֹדָה encompasses both mundane labor and sacred service, especially priestly ministry in the tabernacle or temple. It reflects the biblical worldview in which all work—whether agricultural, domestic, royal, or cultic—can be framed as service rendered either to human masters or to יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state (Ncfsc) from עֲבֹדָה, with prefixed preposition ב ("in"). The construct form indicates a genitive relationship: "service/work of …". |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֲבֹדָה derives from the root עבד, meaning to work or serve. As a feminine singular construct with the prefixed preposition ב ("in"), the form בַּעֲבֹדַת means "in the service/work of," linking it directly to what follows in a genitive relationship. "Service-work" preserves the root sense of labor rendered in service while reflecting the singular construct form. |
