inscribed statute of

Rootחקק (ḥ-q-q)
Core Meaningsto inscribe, engrave, carve, decree, prescribe
Semantic Rangestatute, decree, prescribed portion, fixed boundary, appointed task, customary practice, set limit, ordinance
Conceptual Significanceחֹק emphasizes what is fixed and established by authority, especially by YHWH. It conveys the idea of divine instruction or order as something firmly set, enduring, and binding—like an inscription that cannot easily be altered.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the construct state (HNcmsc), indicating possession or close association with a following noun ("statute of …"). Derived from the verbal root חקק.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֹק derives from the root חקק, "to inscribe or engrave," conveying something fixed or prescribed as if carved in stone. The morphology (masculine singular construct) requires a singular rendering in construct form, hence "inscribed statute of," preserving both its engraved/decreed sense and its grammatical linkage to a following noun.
