lamp
| Root | נור (n-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | to flame, to shine, fire, luminous burning |
| Semantic Range | oil lamp, light-bearing vessel, symbolic light (life, guidance, prosperity, dynasty), personal name Ner |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, the lamp symbolizes life, divine guidance, covenant continuity, and enduring lineage (e.g., the "lamp" of David). It represents sustained light amid darkness, often signifying YHWH’s preserving presence and blessing. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute (HNcmsa) and construct (HNcmsc) forms. Also attested as a proper noun (HNp), Ner ("Lamp"), a personal name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נֵר is a masculine singular form meaning a lamp—a vessel that bears flame and gives light—reflecting the root idea of shining or flaming. The morphology codes (HNcmsa/HNcmsc) indicate a common masculine singular noun in absolute or construct state, so the faithful rendering preserves the singular masculine sense as "lamp." |
