SIBI-P1 H4196-19
his slaughter-altars
| Root | זבח (z-b-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | slaughter, sacrifice, ritual offering |
| Semantic Range | altar for burnt offerings, sacrificial altar, place of ritual slaughter; by extension, authorized worship site or illicit high place depending on context. |
| Conceptual Significance | Altars were central to Israelite worship as designated places of covenantal sacrifice and atonement. Reference to "his slaughter-altars" can highlight either covenant fidelity (when aligned with YHWH’s commands) or apostasy (when associated with foreign worship), underscoring the theological importance of rightful sacrificial practice. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine noun, plural construct (מִזְבְּחוֹת) with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (-ָיו). Indicates multiple altars belonging to or associated with a male singular referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִזְבֵּחַ derives from the root זבח (“to slaughter, sacrifice”) and denotes a place of sacrificial slaughter. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix ("his"), so the rendering preserves both the plural number and the possessive: "his slaughter-altars." |
