river-of

Rootנהר (n-h-r)
Core Meaningsto flow, stream, gush forth, river, shining flow
Semantic Rangeriver, great stream, major watercourse (especially the Euphrates or Nile), flood, by extension abundance or prosperity
Conceptual SignificanceRivers in the Hebrew Bible signify life, fertility, and boundary. "The River" often refers to the Euphrates, marking the ideal northern boundary of the land promised to Israel, while rivers more broadly symbolize divine provision and overwhelming abundance.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the construct state (cmsc), indicating possession or association with a following noun (e.g., "river of Egypt").
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root נ־ה־ר (n-h-r), conveying the idea of flowing or streaming. The morphology (HNcmsc) identifies it as a masculine singular noun in the construct state, so the rendering "river-of" preserves both the core imagery of a flowing river and the grammatical requirement that it be linked to a following noun.
