SIBI-P1 H2595-05

his planting-spear

Rootחנה (ḥ-n-h)
Core Meaningsto camp, encamp, pitch, settle, plant in place
Semantic Rangespear, lance, javelin; a thrusting weapon associated with close combat or royal weaponry
Conceptual SignificanceThe spear is a primary weapon of ancient warfare and often symbolizes martial authority and personal power (notably in narratives about Saul and David). Its root connection to "pitching" or "planting" subtly reflects the embodied, forceful action of fixing or driving into place, reinforcing imagery of strength and decisive action in battle.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in construct form with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("-וֹ"), yielding "his spear."
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֲנִית derives from the root חנה ("to camp, pitch"), evoking the act of planting or setting something firmly in place, like pitching a tent. Rendering it "planting-spear" preserves this root imagery of thrusting or fixing into position. The form is feminine singular with a 3rd masculine singular suffix ("his"), hence "his planting-spear."
