the River (the Nile)
| Root | יאר (y-ʾ-r) |
| Core Meanings | river, great river, canal, watercourse |
| Semantic Range | The Nile River; a major river; canal or branch of a great river; by extension any principal river such as the Tigris. |
| Conceptual Significance | The River (Nile) is the life-source of Egypt, central to its agriculture, economy, and religion. In the biblical narrative it becomes a stage for divine signs and judgments (e.g., the plagues in Exodus), symbolizing both sustenance and vulnerability under YHWH’s sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun with prefixed definite article (הַ); treated as a proper or specific river name in context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יְאֹר denotes a great river, especially the Nile. The prefixed definite article הַ requires the rendering "the," and the singular form is preserved as "River," reflecting the specific, well-known river of Egypt rather than a generic stream. |
