SIBI-P1 H727-05
and a gathering-chest
| Root | ארה (ʾ-r-h) |
| Core Meanings | gathering, collecting, drawing together, storing |
| Semantic Range | chest, box, coffer, ark (sacred chest), coffin |
| Conceptual Significance | The אָרוֹן most prominently designates the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred chest that gathered and held the testimony tablets, symbolizing YHWH’s covenantal presence among Israel. It can also refer more generally to a storage chest or even a coffin, emphasizing the concept of containing what is gathered and set apart. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + noun common masculine singular (construct form without article). Although morphologically construct, the form is identical to the absolute and functions as a singular noun; no pronominal suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָרוֹן derives from a root associated with gathering or collecting, referring to a container that gathers and holds contents. The form is masculine singular with a prefixed conjunction ("and"), and without the article; thus "and a gathering-chest" preserves both the root sense and the singular grammatical form. |
