SIBI-P1 H6086-15
the firm tree
| Root | עץ (ʿ-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | firmness, solidity, wood, tree, timber |
| Semantic Range | A living tree, wood as material, timber, wooden objects (staff, plank, gallows), or collectively trees; context determines whether the focus is botanical or material. |
| Conceptual Significance | Trees hold major symbolic weight in Scripture: the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, places of covenant and revelation, and objects of idolatrous worship. As wood, עֵץ also underlies sacrificial implements, the altar, and instruments of judgment, linking creation, worship, and redemption themes. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הָ). No pronominal suffix; singular and definite. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵץ denotes a tree or wood, deriving from a root associated with firmness or solidity. The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article ("the"), so the rendering preserves both its singular masculine sense and its underlying idea of firmness by expressing it as "the firm tree." |
