SIBI-P1 H7891-06
the singing-men
| Root | שיר (sh-y-r) |
| Core Meanings | singing, song, musical utterance, lyrical proclamation |
| Semantic Range | to sing, to perform song, to act as a singer or minstrel; by extension, those who lead musical worship or celebratory song |
| Conceptual Significance | Singing in the Hebrew Bible is closely tied to worship, victory celebration, and prophetic proclamation. The "singing-men" often function in communal praise, temple service, or public celebration, embodying Israel’s response to divine acts through voiced song. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). Derived from the root שיר (to sing). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine plural with the definite article, indicating "the ones who are singing." Rendering it as "the singing-men" preserves both the verbal force of the participle (ongoing action) and the explicitly masculine plural form in the Hebrew morphology. |
