SIBI-P1 H3727-01
the atonement-covering
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute with definite article (הַ־). Derived nominal form from the root כפר, indicating an instrument or place associated with covering/atonement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כַּפֹּרֶת derives from the root כפר (k-p-r), meaning "to cover" or "to atone." Rendering it as "the atonement-covering" preserves both the physical sense of a cover and the theological function of atonement. The form is a definite feminine singular noun (with the article הַ־), accurately reflected by the singular English phrase "the atonement-covering." |
