SIBI-P1 H6051-01

covering-cloud

Rootענן (ʿ-n-n)
Core Meaningscovering, clouding, obscuring, enveloping
Semantic Rangeliteral cloud, storm-cloud, thundercloud, cloud-mass; figuratively obscurity, gloom, or the visible manifestation of divine presence (pillar of cloud).
Conceptual SignificanceThe covering-cloud often signifies the manifest presence of יהוה, especially in the wilderness wanderings, where the cloud both conceals and reveals divine glory. It embodies themes of guidance, protection, and holy mystery.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun (absolute or construct forms attested). No pronominal suffix. Derived from the root ענן meaning to cover or cloud over.
Rendering RationaleThe noun is masculine singular (absolute or construct), so the rendering preserves singular number with "cloud." By adding "covering," it reflects the root sense of enveloping or obscuring, maintaining the semantic link to the idea of something that veils or overshadows.
