SIBI-P1 H2416-12
living-creature of
| Root | חיה (ḥ-y-h) |
| Core Meanings | to live, to have life, to remain alive, vitality, living state |
| Semantic Range | living creature, animal, wild beast, animate being; by extension any non-human living thing, often contrasted with domesticated animals or humans |
| Conceptual Significance | This term emphasizes the vitality of created beings, highlighting animals as bearers of the breath of life within the created order. In biblical theology it underscores the shared life principle bestowed by יהוה upon all animate creatures, while often distinguishing wild creatures from humanity and domesticated livestock. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular construct (HNcfsc). Construct state links the noun to a following genitive, forming a bound phrase such as "living-creature of the field." Derived from חַיָּה (living thing, animal), itself from the verb חיה (to live). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form חַיַּת is a feminine singular noun in construct, derived from the root חיה ("to live"). Rendering it as "living-creature of" preserves the life-based sense of the root and reflects the singular construct form, indicating possession or association with what follows ("of …"). |
