SIBI-P1 H1882-07
and decree
| Root | דת (d-t) |
| Core Meanings | decree, edict, law, formal statute |
| Semantic Range | royal edict, imperial law, legal statute, official decree, formal regulation |
| Conceptual Significance | דָּת is prominent in Persian-period contexts (e.g., Esther, Daniel), where it reflects the authority of imperial law and the irrevocable nature of royal decrees, highlighting themes of sovereignty, legal order, and the tension between divine and human authority. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). The term is a loanword (likely Old Persian *dāta) used in Biblical Aramaic and later Hebrew. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דָּת denotes a formal, binding decree or law, often of royal or imperial origin. The form is feminine singular absolute with a prefixed conjunction ("and"), so the rendering preserves both the singular number and the connective function. |
