the night
| Root | ליל (l-y-l) |
| Core Meanings | night, darkness, nocturnal time, obscurity |
| Semantic Range | nighttime, a specific night, the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise, figuratively a time of distress or obscurity. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, "the night" often marks moments of divine intervention, revelation, judgment, or deliverance. It can signify both literal darkness and symbolic periods of uncertainty or testing within redemptive history. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular, determined (emphatic) state. The -ָא ending marks definiteness in Biblical Aramaic. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term לֵילְיָא is the Aramaic masculine singular noun in the determined (emphatic) state, indicated by the ending -ָא. Rendering it as "the night" preserves both its singular masculine form and its definite force, while retaining the core sense of the root ליל, referring to the period of darkness. |
