increase-grain
| Root | דגה (d-g-h) |
| Core Meanings | increase, multiplication, fertility, abundance |
| Semantic Range | grain, cereal crops, harvested produce, agricultural yield, staple food supply |
| Conceptual Significance | דָּגָן represents the tangible increase of the land and is a primary sign of covenant blessing, prosperity, and divine provision. Its abundance or lack serves as an indicator of faithfulness and judgment within Israel’s covenant relationship with יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). Functions as a collective or mass noun referring to harvested grain. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דָּגָן is a masculine singular absolute form, rendered here as the singular mass noun "increase-grain" to preserve both its grammatical singularity and its derivation from a root meaning "to increase" or "multiply." This rendering keeps the agricultural sense of grain while foregrounding the idea of produce as the land’s increase. |
