SIBI-P1 H3516-01
in the heavy organ (the liver)
| Root | כבד (k-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | heaviness, weight, honor, glory, significance |
| Semantic Range | liver; the heaviest internal organ; metaphorically the seat of emotion or inner vitality in Hebrew anthropology |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the liver—named from the concept of heaviness—was viewed as a substantial inner organ associated with deep emotions and life-force. Its designation from the root כבד subtly links physical weight with the broader biblical theme of weightiness, honor, and significance. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed preposition בַּ ("in the"). The noun is feminine singular in form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כָּבֵד derives from the root כבד, meaning "to be heavy" or "weighty." As a feminine singular noun with the prefixed preposition בַּ ("in the"), the rendering preserves the singular form and reflects the root sense of "heaviness," identifying the liver as the "heavy organ." |
