SIBI-P1 H5715-05
the witness-testimony
| Root | עוד (ʿ-w-d) |
| Core Meanings | witness, testify, bear witness, attest, give repeated warning |
| Semantic Range | testimony, witness, attestation, covenantal record, stipulation, divine decree serving as witness |
| Conceptual Significance | עֵדוּת often refers to the covenantal testimony of YHWH—especially the tablets of the covenant and, by extension, the ark housing them—functioning as a perpetual witness between YHWH and Israel. It embodies the idea that the divine instruction itself stands as an enduring testimony to the covenant relationship. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הָ). No pronominal suffix; definite by article. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵדוּת derives from the root עוד, "to bear witness" or "to testify." The form is feminine singular absolute with the definite article ("the"), so "the witness-testimony" preserves the definite, singular sense while retaining the root idea of something that bears witness or serves as an attestation. |
