SIBI-P1 H1032-01

house-of

Rootבנה (b-n-h)
Core Meaningsto build, construct, establish, set up, form a household
Semantic Rangephysical house, dwelling, household, family line, dynasty, temple, palace, administrative division, interior space
Conceptual SignificanceBeyond a physical structure, "house" in the Hebrew Bible signifies lineage ("house of David"), covenant identity, and sacred space (the house/temple of YHWH). It expresses the idea of what is built up—whether a family, a royal dynasty, or a dwelling place for the Divine.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun from בַּיִת (bayith), here in construct state (בֵּית), indicating possession or close association; no pronominal suffix in this form.
Rendering RationaleThe form בֵּית is masculine singular in the construct state ("house of"), linking it directly to a following noun. Rendering it as "house-of" preserves both its singular masculine form and its grammatical function of denoting something built or established that belongs to or is associated with another entity.
