and mustered-herds
| Root | עדר (ʿ-d-r) |
| Core Meanings | arrange, muster, gather in ranks, organize into groups |
| Semantic Range | flock, herd, drove, troop (of animals), organized group |
| Conceptual Significance | In pastoral and covenantal contexts, herds represent wealth, provision, and communal order. The term evokes not merely scattered animals but a gathered and intentionally arranged collective, reflecting themes of divine provision and ordered community under shepherding care. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + noun common masculine plural absolute (Ncmpa) from עֵדֶר. The form עֲדָרִים is the regular masculine plural ending -ִים. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֲדָרִים is the masculine plural absolute form of עֵדֶר, derived from the root עדר in the sense of arranging or mustering. "Mustered-herds" preserves the idea of animals gathered and ordered as a collective, while the plural form reflects the masculine plural morphology; the prefixed וַ is rendered as "and." |
