slaughter-altars
| Root | זבח (z-b-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to slaughter, to sacrifice, ritual killing, offering by slaughter |
| Semantic Range | altar for burnt offerings, sacrificial altar, cultic installation for ritual slaughter, figurative site of devotion or illicit worship |
| Conceptual Significance | Altars are central to Israelite worship as the designated places of covenantal sacrifice and atonement. They represent access to YHWH through blood sacrifice, but in plural contexts may also signify competing or illegitimate worship sites, highlighting themes of covenant faithfulness or apostasy. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine noun in the plural absolute form (מִזְבְּחוֹת), from a miqtal pattern indicating place or instrument of action derived from זבח. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִזְבֵּחַ is a place-instrument formation from the root זבח ("to slaughter, sacrifice"), denoting the place where sacrificial slaughter occurs. Rendering it as "slaughter-altars" preserves the connection to the act of sacrificial killing inherent in the root, while the plural form reflects the masculine plural absolute morphology (HNcmpa). |
