SIBI-P1 H352-11
the mighty-ram
| Root | איל (ʾ-y-l) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, prominence, sturdy support |
| Semantic Range | ram (male sheep), strong man, chief or leader, pillar or support, oak or strong tree, architectural post or lintel |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, the אַיִל symbolizes strength and leadership—whether in sacrificial contexts (the ram as a valuable offering), in social structure (a chief or mighty man), or in architecture and nature (strong supports, sturdy trees). The term consistently conveys the idea of visible, embodied strength. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הָ). No pronominal suffix; singular and masculine in form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אַיִל derives from a root conveying strength and might. Rendering it as "mighty-ram" preserves both the literal referent (a male sheep) and the underlying idea of strength that defines the term. The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article, accurately reflected in "the mighty-ram." |
