SIBI-P1 H794-01
pouring-slopes of
| Root | אשד (ʾ-š-d) |
| Core Meanings | pouring, outflow, slope, ravine, descent |
| Semantic Range | slopes, ravines, descents, mountain declivities, watery gorges or outflow channels |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in geographical descriptions, the term highlights the natural contours of the land of Israel—especially steep descents or water-carved ravines—underscoring the tangible, physical inheritance and boundaries within covenantal narratives. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun in construct state from אֲשֵׁדָה (H794). The construct form requires a following genitive to complete the sense ("slopes of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root אשד, conveying the idea of pouring or outflow, hence a descending slope or ravine where water runs. The form is feminine plural construct (HNcfpc), so the rendering preserves the plural (“slopes”) and the construct relationship with “of,” indicating possession or association with what follows in context. |
