SIBI-P1 H5650-14
his serving-man
| Root | עבד (ʿ-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | to work, to serve, to labor, to be bound in service |
| Semantic Range | servant, bondman, slave, attendant, royal official, subordinate, worshiper (in relation to God) |
| Conceptual Significance | עֶבֶד expresses covenantal and social hierarchy, describing both literal servitude and honored service (e.g., "servant of YHWH"). It can denote lowly bondage or elevated devotion, highlighting identity as one belonging to and acting under the authority of another. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (עַבְדּ) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), meaning "his." The construct state links the servant relationally to the possessor. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֶבֶד derives from the root עבד, "to serve/work," denoting one who is bound in service to another. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, hence "his," and the rendering "serving-man" preserves both the masculine gender and the core idea of one defined by service. |
