slaughter-place
| Root | זבח (z-b-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to slaughter, to sacrifice, ritual killing for offering |
| Semantic Range | altar for burnt offerings, sacrificial altar, place of ritual slaughter, cultic platform for offerings |
| Conceptual Significance | The מִזְבֵּחַ stands at the center of Israelite worship as the designated place of sacrificial approach to YHWH. It embodies the concepts of atonement, covenant fellowship, thanksgiving, and consecration through blood sacrifice, serving as a physical and theological focal point of divine-human encounter. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). Formed with the מִ־ prefix, often indicating an instrument or place associated with the verbal root—here, a place of slaughter/sacrifice. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִזְבֵּחַ derives from the root זבח ("to slaughter, sacrifice") and denotes the place where sacrificial slaughter occurs. Rendering it as "slaughter-place" preserves the concrete action embedded in the root while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form (a single, specific place). |
