SIBI-P1 H2282-11
the pilgrimage-feast
| Root | חגג (ḥ-g-g) |
| Core Meanings | to make pilgrimage, to celebrate a feast, to circle in festal procession |
| Semantic Range | pilgrimage festival, appointed feast, festal celebration, sacrificial feast associated with a pilgrimage |
| Conceptual Significance | חַג refers especially to the major pilgrimage festivals of Israel (e.g., Passover, Weeks, Booths), when the people ascended to the sanctuary to celebrate before YHWH. It embodies communal worship, covenant remembrance, and joyful procession in the presence of God. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix; singular in number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חַג derives from the root חגג, which conveys the idea of making a pilgrimage or celebrating in a festal procession. Rendering it as "the pilgrimage-feast" preserves this root connection rather than using the more generic "feast." The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article, accurately reflected by "the" and the singular noun. |
