SIBI-P1 H1358-03
into the hollowed pit
| Root | גוב (g-w-b) |
| Core Meanings | hollow, cavity, pit, excavation |
| Semantic Range | pit, den, cavity, excavated hole (especially for trapping or confining animals); by extension, a place of confinement. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical narrative (notably Daniel), the גֹּב is a place of mortal threat and confinement, yet also a setting where divine deliverance is revealed. The image of a hollowed pit underscores vulnerability contrasted with YHWH’s power to preserve life. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular in the determined (emphatic) state, with prefixed preposition לְ (“to/into”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גֹּב (Aramaic) denotes a hollowed cavity or pit, especially one dug out for animals. Rendering it "hollowed pit" preserves the root sense of something excavated or scooped out. The prefixed לְ and the determined (emphatic) singular form are reflected in "into the" and the singular noun. |
