House-of-ʾEl

Rootבית (b-y-t)
Core Meaningshouse, dwelling, household, family line, temple
Semantic Rangephysical house, dwelling place, household, family lineage, royal court, temple, sanctuary; in construct, denotes possession or association (house of X).
Conceptual SignificanceThe "house" in biblical thought represents not only a physical structure but also lineage, covenant continuity, and divine dwelling. As "House-of-ʾEl," Beth-El marks a המקום of divine encounter and memorializes the concept of a dwelling place belonging to or associated with God.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in construct state (HNcmsc) from בַּיִת; also used as a proper noun (HNp) in the compound בֵּית־אֵל. The construct form shortens the vowel from בַּיִת to בֵּית and requires a following genitive.
Rendering RationaleThe form בֵּית is masculine singular construct of בַּיִת (house), meaning "house of" something that follows. As a proper noun (HNp) בֵּית־אֵל, it literally means "House of ʾEl (God)," preserving the singular construct relationship inherent in the morphology.
