SIBI-P1 H4070-01
their dwelling-place
| Root | דור (d-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | to dwell, reside, abide, encircle; habitation, dwelling-place |
| Semantic Range | dwelling, habitation, abode, residence, settled place, encampment |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, a "dwelling" signifies more than a physical structure; it marks one’s settled sphere of life and belonging. In exilic or scattered contexts, reference to a "dwelling" can highlight questions of permanence, identity, and covenantal presence even outside the ancestral land. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic masculine singular noun in construct state (מְדָרְ) with 3mp pronominal suffix (הוֹן), yielding "their dwelling." Occurs once in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מְדוֹר derives from the root דור, conveying the idea of dwelling or abiding. The form is a masculine singular noun in construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"), so "their dwelling-place" preserves both the singular form of the noun and the plural possessive suffix. |
