SIBI-P1 H6446-01

the palm-lengths

Rootפסס (p-s-s)
Core Meaningsflatness, spreading out, extremity, palm of the hand, sole of the foot, breadth-strip
Semantic RangePalm of the hand, sole of the foot, extremity; by extension, extended or breadthwise sections; in clothing, a tunic reaching to the extremities (wrists and ankles) or composed of breadthwise panels; traditionally understood as a richly ornamented or long-sleeved garment.
Conceptual SignificanceMost famously describing Joseph’s "tunic of palm-lengths" (כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים), the term conveys distinction and elevated status, suggesting a garment extending to the extremities or marked by crafted breadths. It signifies favor, identity, and visible distinction within the covenant family narrative.
Morphological NotesMasculine plural noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (HTd/Ncmpa). No pronominal suffix; number and definiteness must be reflected as "the" + plural form.
Rendering RationaleThe noun פַּס refers to the palm of the hand or sole of the foot—an extremity or flat breadth—derived from a root conveying spreading or flat extension. In the masculine plural absolute with the definite article ("the"), הַפַּסִּים is rendered "the palm-lengths," preserving both the plural form and the underlying sense of extended extremities or breadth-sections.
