SIBI-P1 H1359-01
in Gob (Pit-place)
| Root | גוב (g-w-b) |
| Core Meanings | pit, hollow, cavity, excavation |
| Semantic Range | Pit, cistern, hollowed place; as a proper noun, a location in Philistine territory associated with battles. |
| Conceptual Significance | As a place name derived from “pit” or “hollow,” Gob likely reflects geographical features of the site. Its mention in battle narratives situates Israel’s conflicts within identifiable terrain, underscoring the concreteness of the biblical historical setting. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in/at”) + proper noun, masculine singular (Np). Occurs twice as a place name. No pronominal suffix. Proper noun derived from a common noun root. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition בְּ (“in/at”) prefixed to the proper noun גֹּב (Gob). Since the name derives from the root גוב meaning “pit” or “hollow,” the rendering preserves both the locative preposition and the root sense by identifying Gob as a ‘Pit-place.’ |
