for a witness

Rootעוד (ʿ-w-d)
Core Meaningsto bear witness, testify, affirm, repeat, give evidence
Semantic Rangelegal witness, personal witness, testimony, evidence, memorial witness, covenantal witness, one who testifies
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, a witness establishes truth and covenant accountability. A person, object, altar, or document may serve "for a witness," standing as enduring testimony before God and community, reinforcing themes of covenant faithfulness and judicial integrity.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for/as") prefixed to a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct form) עֵד. The noun is common masculine singular (Ncmsa/Ncmsc).
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵד derives from the root עוד, which conveys the act of bearing witness or giving testimony. The form here is masculine singular, and with the prefixed לְ it functions as "for/as a witness," preserving both the singular masculine sense and the legal-testimonial force of the root.
