SIBI-P1 H7794-05
a bull
| Root | שור (š-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | to look, behold, range about, travel; roaming strength |
| Semantic Range | bull, ox, head of cattle (male), sometimes generically cattle; by rare textual confusion, possibly wall (distinct root). |
| Conceptual Significance | The bull was a primary source of agricultural power, wealth, and sacrificial value in ancient Israel. It symbolizes strength, productivity, and at times stubbornness or untamed power, and frequently appears in legal, cultic, and poetic contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no article or suffix; functions as a concrete animal term. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שׁוֹר is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so it is rendered in English as a singular masculine noun: “a bull.” The term likely reflects the idea of a strong, roaming animal, preserving the sense of robust, ranging power associated with the root. |
