SIBI-P1 `H5654-03`

serving-man of Edom

Morphological Notes	Qal active participle, masculine singular (absolute and construct forms attested). Used as a proper name in construct with אֱדוֹם (Edom).
Rendering Rationale	The form עֹבֵד is the Qal active participle masculine singular of עבד, meaning "one who serves" or "working one." As a masculine singular participle in construct with "Edom," it denotes "serving-man of Edom," preserving both the root sense of service/labor and the grammatical gender and number.
