SIBI-P1 `H4908-06`

dwelling-place of

Root	שכן (š-k-n)
Core Meanings	to dwell, settle, reside, abide, inhabit
Semantic Range	dwelling-place, habitation, residence, shepherd’s hut, animal lair, grave (figurative dwelling), the Tabernacle, and by extension the Temple as the place of divine indwelling.
Conceptual Significance	מִשְׁכָּן is central to Israel’s theology of divine nearness, referring especially to the Tabernacle as the appointed dwelling-place of YHWH among His people. It expresses the covenant reality that the Holy One chooses to abide in the midst of Israel.
Morphological Notes	Common masculine singular noun in the construct state (HNcmsc), indicating a "dwelling-place of" someone or something that follows.
Rendering Rationale	The noun מִשְׁכָּן derives from the root שכן, "to dwell" or "to abide," and denotes a place of dwelling. The morphology (masculine singular construct) requires the sense "dwelling-place of," expressing possession or association with what follows in context. This preserves both the root idea of abiding and the grammatical construct form.
