SIBI-P1 H7070-05

the reed-stalks

Rootקנה (q-n-h)
Core Meaningsreed, stalk, measuring rod, shaft, beam
Semantic Rangereeds growing by water, cane-stalks, measuring rods, shafts or poles, branches resembling reeds, beams or balance arms by extension
Conceptual Significanceקָנֶה evokes imagery of upright growth and measure. It can symbolize fragility (a bruised reed), but also precision and order when used as a measuring rod in temple visions, linking natural imagery with divine standards and structure.
Morphological NotesNoun common masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ + קָּנִים). No pronominal suffix. From lemma קָנֶה (reed, rod).
Rendering RationaleThe noun קָנֶה denotes a reed or stalk—something upright and rod-like. The form הַקָּנִים is masculine plural with the definite article, so "the reed-stalks" preserves both the concrete root imagery (upright, cane-like stems) and the grammatical features of definite masculine plural.
