the lots
| Root | פור (p-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | lot, casting of lots, allotted portion by lot |
| Semantic Range | physical lots used for casting decisions, the act or system of lot-casting, by extension the festival of Purim ("Lots") commemorating events tied to the casting of lots |
| Conceptual Significance | In Esther, the term recalls the lots cast by Haman to determine the date of destruction for the Jews; the reversal of that decree gives rise to the festival name Purim ("Lots"), transforming a symbol of chance and threat into one of providence and deliverance. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) prefixed to a masculine plural absolute noun (Np). Plural form of פּוּר ("lot"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הַפּוּרִים consists of the definite article הַ plus the masculine plural noun פּוּרִים. Rendering it "the lots" preserves both the plural number and the definite article while reflecting the core meaning of פור as a lot used for casting decisions. |
