SIBI-P1 H7272-01
by foot
| Root | רגל (r-g-l) |
| Core Meanings | foot, walking, stepping, movement, going about |
| Semantic Range | foot (literal body part), step, footing, base or pedestal, journeying on foot, location at the foot of something, euphemism for lower body parts, idiomatic expressions relating to following or coming after. |
| Conceptual Significance | רֶגֶל grounds many biblical idioms concerning movement, pilgrimage, and presence (e.g., appearing "by foot" before YHWH). It also conveys humility and physicality, as the foot represents both human limitation and covenantal approach to sacred space. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("by/at") prefixed to a common feminine singular noun in the absolute state (Ncfsa). No article or suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֶגֶל means "foot," from the root רגל relating to walking or movement. The form is feminine singular absolute with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in, at, by"), so "by foot" preserves both the singular sense and the concrete imagery of movement associated with the root. |
