inscribed (masculine singular)
| Root | כתב (k-t-b) |
| Core Meanings | writing, inscribing, recording, engraving, documenting |
| Semantic Range | written, inscribed, recorded, prescribed, documented, officially set down |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, כָּתוּב often introduces authoritative or covenantal material—what stands officially recorded. What is "inscribed" carries enduring authority, permanence, and covenantal weight, reflecting the cultural importance of written testimony in Israel’s faith and law. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, passive participle, masculine singular absolute (HVqsmsa). Functions adjectivally to describe a masculine singular noun as having been written/inscribed. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form כָּתוּב is a Qal passive participle masculine singular, indicating something that has been written or inscribed. Rendering it as "inscribed" preserves the concrete root sense of carving or recording in writing while accurately reflecting its singular masculine grammatical form. |
