SIBI-P1 H4720-18
his set-apart sanctuary
| Root | קדש (q-d-sh) |
| Core Meanings | holiness, separateness, consecration, set-apartness |
| Semantic Range | sanctuary, holy place, consecrated space, temple precinct, sacred dwelling, asylum |
| Conceptual Significance | מִקְדָּשׁ signifies the designated dwelling place of the divine presence, a space set apart from common use. It embodies the biblical theology of holiness, where physical space is marked off to reflect YHWH’s distinctness and covenantal nearness. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct form (מִקְדַּשׁ) with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־וֹ), yielding "his sanctuary." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִקְדָּשׁ derives from the root קדש, meaning "to be set apart" or "to be holy." Rendering it as "set-apart sanctuary" preserves the core idea of consecrated space, and the 3rd masculine singular suffix is reflected by "his," accurately representing the construct form with pronominal suffix. |
