to the battle
| Root | לחם (l-ḥ-m) |
| Core Meanings | to fight, to wage war, to engage in combat |
| Semantic Range | battle, war, warfare, armed conflict, military campaign, engagement in combat |
| Conceptual Significance | מִלְחָמָה frames much of Israel’s historical narrative, describing both physical conflicts and divinely sanctioned wars. It often highlights YHWH as the true warrior who fights for Israel, underscoring themes of divine sovereignty, covenant faithfulness, and dependence upon God in times of conflict. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with assimilated definite article ("to the") + noun common feminine singular absolute מִלְחָמָה. The dagesh in מ marks assimilation of the article. No pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לַמִּלְחָמָה consists of the preposition לַ ("to/for") with the definite article assimilated, attached to the feminine singular noun מִלְחָמָה ("battle, war") from the root לחם ("to fight"). "To the battle" preserves the singular feminine noun and the prefixed preposition, while keeping the concrete sense of engaging in combat inherent in the root. |
