SIBI-P1 H2351-07

outside—the separated space

Rootחוץ (ḥ-w-ṣ)
Core Meaningsseparation, exteriority, that which is severed off, outside space
Semantic Rangeoutside, outdoors, exterior, open field, street, beyond a wall, abroad, outwardly
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, "outside" often marks the boundary between ordered covenant space and what lies beyond—whether common space outside a house, the camp, or the city. It can signify exclusion, exposure, or movement beyond established limits.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no article or pronominal suffix; used adverbially or substantivally.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from a root meaning "to sever," referring to what is cut off or separated from an interior. As a common masculine singular absolute noun, it is rendered as a singular substantive, "outside," expanded to reflect its root sense as the separated space beyond a boundary.
