SIBI-P1 H2282-05
pilgrimage-feast
| Root | חגג (ḥ-g-g) |
| Core Meanings | to make pilgrimage, to celebrate by circling, to keep a festival, sacred procession |
| Semantic Range | pilgrimage festival, sacred feast, festal celebration, feast day, sacrificial festival observance |
| Conceptual Significance | חַג denotes the major pilgrimage festivals of Israel (such as Passover, Weeks, and Booths), when the people assembled before YHWH. It emphasizes not merely feasting but covenantal gathering, sacred movement toward the sanctuary, and communal rejoicing in YHWH’s redemptive acts. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (absolute or construct). No pronominal suffix. Occurs as a concrete noun referring to a specific sacred festival occasion. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חַג derives from the root חגג, which conveys the idea of making a pilgrimage or celebrating in a cyclical, processional manner. Rendering it as "pilgrimage-feast" preserves both the celebratory aspect (feast) and the rooted sense of sacred journeying or festal procession. The form is masculine singular (absolute or construct), which is reflected in the singular English rendering without added plurality or possessive elements. |
