SIBI-P1 H7704-01
in the open field
| Root | שדה (ś-d-h) |
| Core Meanings | to spread out, open expanse, field, cultivated land, countryside |
| Semantic Range | field, farmland, open countryside, rural territory, land outside a city, the wild or uncultivated areas |
| Conceptual Significance | The "field" represents the realm of agriculture, livelihood, and blessing, but also vulnerability outside city protection. In covenant contexts it signifies the sphere of daily sustenance and the broader land promised to Israel. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article ("the") + masculine singular absolute noun שָׂדֶה. The article is indicated by the pataḥ and dagesh in the following consonant. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׂדֶה denotes a spread-out, open expanse of land used for cultivation or lying outside settlements. The prefixed בַּ־ combines the preposition "in" with the definite article, and the noun is masculine singular absolute, so "in the open field" preserves the definite, singular form and reflects the root sense of a spread-out place. |
