SIBI-P1 H6363-01
opener-of
| Root | פטר (p-ṭ-r) |
| Core Meanings | to open, to release, to set free, to let go |
| Semantic Range | the act of opening, that which opens, first issue of the womb, firstling, firstborn (in the sense of the one who opens the womb) |
| Conceptual Significance | In Israelite law, the "opener of the womb" belongs to YHWH and is set apart as holy, whether human or animal. The term emphasizes not merely birth order but the sacred status of the first issue as the one that opens the womb, grounding practices of consecration and redemption in the Exodus tradition. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular construct (HNcmsc). The construct state requires a following noun (often רֶחֶם, "womb"), forming the phrase "opener of the womb." |
| Rendering Rationale | פֶּטֶר is a masculine singular noun in the construct state, denoting "the opener of…" something that follows in genitive relation (typically "the womb"). Rendering it as "opener-of" preserves both the root sense of opening (פטר) and the construct form indicated by the morphology (masculine singular construct). |
