SIBI-P1 H4159-06
a conspicuous sign
| Root | יפה (y-p-h) |
| Core Meanings | beauty, brightness, conspicuousness, that which stands out |
| Semantic Range | miracle, wonder, portent, omen, sign that draws attention, extraordinary act that stands out |
| Conceptual Significance | מוֹפֵת often describes Yahweh’s dramatic acts in history—especially in the Exodus—that visibly display His power and set Him apart. It signifies not merely a supernatural event, but a striking, attention-commanding sign that reveals divine authority and purpose. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no article or suffix; functions as an indefinite singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מוֹפֵת is a masculine singular absolute form. Deriving from the root יפה (to be beautiful or conspicuous), it denotes something that stands out visibly. "A conspicuous sign" preserves the idea of striking visibility inherent in the root while reflecting the singular masculine noun form. |
