SIBI-P1 H7543-02
a compounding-perfumer
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, from the root רקח (r-q-ḥ). Functions substantivally to denote a professional artisan—"one who compounds." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form רֹקֵחַ is a Qal active participle masculine singular absolute, denoting "one who is compounding" or "one who mixes." Rendering it as "a compounding-perfumer" preserves the root sense of blending aromatic substances while reflecting the masculine singular participial form—an individual man characterized by this ongoing craft. |
