SIBI-P1 H7307-02
in-wind/breath
| Root | רוח (r-w-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | wind, breath, air in motion, animating spirit, inner disposition |
| Semantic Range | Wind, moving air, breath of life, animating force, inner disposition, courage, anger, divine Spirit, a directional quarter of the sky. |
| Conceptual Significance | רוּחַ bridges the physical and immaterial realms in biblical thought: the unseen yet powerful wind becomes a metaphor for life-force, emotional disposition, and the Spirit of Elohim. It expresses both human interiority and divine activity, emphasizing invisible power that produces visible effect. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in/by/with") prefixed to a common feminine singular noun רוּחַ (appearing in both construct and absolute forms in the data). No pronominal suffix; singular and feminine in gender. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition בְּ ("in/by/with") attached to רוּחַ, a feminine singular noun meaning "wind" or "breath" and by extension "spirit." The rendering "in-wind/breath" preserves the core image of moving air while retaining the singular sense indicated by the morphology. |
