SIBI-P1 H1032-01
house-of
| Root | בנה (b-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | to build, construct, establish, set up, form a household |
| Semantic Range | physical house, dwelling, household, family line, dynasty, temple, palace, administrative division, interior space |
| Conceptual Significance | Beyond 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 Notes | Masculine singular noun from בַּיִת (bayith), here in construct state (בֵּית), indicating possession or close association; no pronominal suffix in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
