SIBI-P1 `H2346-09`

enclosing walls

Root	חמה (ḥ-m-h)
Core Meanings	joining, enclosing, surrounding, protecting
Semantic Range	city walls, fortification walls, defensive barriers, enclosing structures, metaphorical boundaries or protections
Conceptual Significance	Walls in the biblical world signify security, communal identity, and separation from danger. The restoration of Jerusalem’s walls, for example, represents covenant renewal and divine protection, while breached walls symbolize vulnerability and judgment.
Morphological Notes	Common feminine noun, plural (absolute or construct). No pronominal suffix. Derived from an unused verbal root; morphologically treated as a feminine plural noun in these occurrences.
Rendering Rationale	The noun חוֹמָה is understood as deriving from a root meaning "to join" or "to enclose," referring to structures formed by joined materials that surround and protect. The form here is feminine plural (absolute or construct), so the rendering preserves the plural number as "walls," while "enclosing" reflects the participial, active sense embedded in the noun’s origin.
