| Root | עבר (ʿ-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | to cross, pass over, traverse, transition, move beyond |
| Semantic Range | because of, on account of, for the sake of, in order that, for the purpose of |
| Conceptual Significance | By deriving causation and purpose from the imagery of crossing or passing over, עָבוּר frames events as occurring on account of a prior movement or transition. It reflects the biblical worldview in which actions and outcomes are linked through purposeful passage—whether physical, historical, or covenantal. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular construct noun (Ncmsc) from the passive participle of עבר, with prefixed preposition בַּ. Functions adverbially as a prepositional expression governing a following noun or clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | עָבוּר is a masculine singular noun in the construct state, derived as a passive participle from עבר (“to cross, pass over”). With the prefixed בַּ (“in/for”), it literally denotes "for the passing-over of," which developed idiomatically into "for the sake of" or "because of." The rendering preserves the underlying imagery of crossing or transition while reflecting its masculine singular construct form. |
