SIBI-P1 H6086-30
and a firm tree
| Root | עצה (ʿ-ṣ-h) |
| Core Meanings | firmness, solidity, hardness, woodiness |
| Semantic Range | tree, wood, timber, plank, stick, staff, gallows, wooden object |
| Conceptual Significance | עֵץ is central in biblical imagery: trees symbolize life, stability, fruitfulness, and human destiny (e.g., the tree of life), while wood also serves in construction, tools, and instruments of judgment. Its association with firmness underscores themes of rootedness and endurance in covenantal and moral contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to a common masculine singular noun (absolute or construct state depending on context). No pronominal suffix. Singular, masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵץ denotes a tree or wood, understood as something firm and solid. Rendering it "a firm tree" preserves the underlying sense of solidity inherent in the root, while accurately reflecting the masculine singular form with the prefixed conjunction "and" (וְ). |
