SIBI-P1 H5483-19
leaping horses
| Root | סוס (s-w-s) |
| Core Meanings | to leap, skip, spring, exult, swift movement |
| Semantic Range | horse, war-horse, cavalry animal; by extension swift creatures such as the swallow or crane in poetic usage; associated with speed and martial strength. |
| Conceptual Significance | Horses symbolize speed, power, and military might in the Hebrew Bible. They often represent human reliance on strength and warfare in contrast to trust in יהוה, making them a theological counterpoint between earthly power and divine deliverance. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural absolute noun (HNcmpa) from סוּס; no pronominal suffix; denotes multiple male-class animals in general reference. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root meaning "to leap" or "spring," highlighting the animal’s bounding motion and vitality. Rendering it "leaping horses" preserves this root sense while accurately reflecting the masculine plural absolute form (common masculine plural noun). |
