the split-plank
| Root | קרש (q-r-sh) |
| Core Meanings | to split off, to divide into slabs, plank, board, structural slab |
| Semantic Range | plank, board, slab of wood, structural beam, deck-plank; especially used of the tabernacle boards in Exodus. |
| Conceptual Significance | In the tabernacle narratives, the קֶרֶשׁ refers to the substantial wooden planks forming the framework of the sanctuary. These "split-planks" emphasize the crafted, structured nature of Israel’s dwelling place for YHWH, highlighting order, stability, and intentional construction in sacred space. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ); no pronominal suffix; singular form maintained in translation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קֶרֶשׁ derives from a root meaning "to split off," referring to a slab or plank cut from timber. Rendering it as "the split-plank" preserves the root sense of something divided from a larger whole, while reflecting the masculine singular noun with the definite article ("the") indicated by the morphology (Ncmsa with prefixed הַ). |
