the hill-shaped caps

Root	גבע (g-b-ʿ)
Core Meanings	hill, height, elevation, rounded prominence
Semantic Range	cap, bonnet, turban, rounded headpiece, especially priestly headgear
Conceptual Significance	In the Torah, these caps form part of the sacred priestly garments, symbolizing consecration and ordered elevation before YHWH. The "hill-shaped" imagery subtly reflects dignity and lifted status within Israel’s worship structure.
Morphological Notes	Noun common feminine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ); from מִגְבָּעָה; appears here as a definite plural form.
Rendering Rationale	The noun מִגְבָּעָה derives from the root גבע, meaning "hill" or "height," referring to something rounded or elevated. Rendering it as "hill-shaped caps" preserves this imagery of rounded elevation while accurately reflecting the feminine plural absolute form with the definite article ("the").
