| Root | ירה (y-r-h) |
| Core Meanings | to throw, shoot, point, direct, instruct |
| Semantic Range | instruction, direction, teaching, legal ruling, covenantal law, body of divine revelation (especially the Pentateuch) |
| Conceptual Significance | תּוֹרָה represents YHWH’s revealed instruction that directs His people in covenant faithfulness. It conveys not merely legal regulation but divine guidance that points the community toward righteous living and ordered relationship with Him. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct state (HNcfsc). The construct form תּוֹרַת links the noun to a following genitive, expressing possession or specification. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תּוֹרַת is the feminine singular construct form of תּוֹרָה, derived from the root י־ר־ה, "to point" or "to instruct." Rendering it as "instruction-of" preserves both the root sense of directed teaching and the construct relationship, indicating that the word governs what follows ("instruction of …"). |
