SIBI-P1 H6912-40
and let me bury
| Root | קבר (q-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | to bury, to inter, to place in a grave, to cover over in death |
| Semantic Range | to bury a corpse, to inter in a grave, to entomb, to perform burial rites; by extension, to conceal or place out of sight in the earth. |
| Conceptual Significance | Burial in the Hebrew Bible signifies honor for the dead, covenant identity with one’s ancestors, and hope tied to the promised land. Proper burial reflects familial duty and covenant faithfulness, while lack of burial signifies disgrace or judgment. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, cohortative, 1st common singular with prefixed conjunction וְ; expresses volition or determined intention by the speaker. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קבר denotes the act of burying or interring the dead. The form is Qal cohortative, first common singular with prefixed conjunction, expressing personal resolve or intention; "and let me bury" preserves both the simple active sense of the Qal stem and the first-person singular cohortative nuance. |
