SIBI-P1 H6963-23
her voice-call
| Root | קול (q-w-l) |
| Core Meanings | voice, sound, call, audible expression |
| Semantic Range | voice, sound, noise, cry, proclamation, thunder, report, audible expression |
| Conceptual Significance | קוֹל is central in biblical theology as the audible manifestation of presence and authority—whether human speech, prophetic proclamation, or the thunderous voice of YHWH. It often signifies revelation, communication, and the power of spoken expression. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common masculine singular construct (קוֹל) with 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix (־הּ), meaning "her voice." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קוֹל (qôl) denotes a voiced sound or audible call. Rendering it as "voice-call" preserves the root sense of an audible utterance while the 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix ("her") accurately reflects the morphology (masculine singular construct with 3fs suffix). |
