SIBI-P1 H2282-02
in the pilgrimage-feast
| Root | חגג (ḥ-g-g) |
| Core Meanings | to make pilgrimage, to celebrate by circling, to hold a festival, to move in procession |
| Semantic Range | pilgrimage festival, sacred feast, festal gathering, sacrificial celebration associated with appointed times |
| Conceptual Significance | חַג denotes the great pilgrimage festivals of Israel (e.g., Unleavened Bread, Weeks, Booths), when the people gathered before יהוה. It reflects covenantal rhythm, communal worship, and joyful procession before God, embedding sacred time into Israel’s national life. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") prefixed to a masculine singular noun חַג. Forms include both construct (Ncmsc) and absolute with article (Ncmsa with prefixed definite article), though English does not always distinguish these explicitly in isolated citation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חַג derives from the root חגג, conveying the idea of making a pilgrimage or celebrating in a festal procession. Rendering it as "pilgrimage-feast" preserves the root sense of sacred movement and communal celebration. The prefixed בְּ preposition is reflected by "in," and the masculine singular form is maintained with the singular noun "feast." |
