SIBI-P1 H168-08

his dwelling-tent

Rootאהל (ʾ-h-l)
Core Meaningstenting, dwelling under cover, encampment, shelter
Semantic Rangetent, portable dwelling, household residence, nomadic shelter, sacred tent (tabernacle), symbolic abode
Conceptual SignificanceThe אֹהֶל represents the fundamental dwelling of the patriarchs and nomadic life in Israel’s early history, signifying transience, pilgrimage, and dependence on YHWH. It also becomes central in the form of the Tent of Meeting, where divine-human encounter occurs.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form with 3ms pronominal suffix ("his"). From the root אהל, indicating tent-dwelling or encampment.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אֹהֶל denotes a tent or portable dwelling, reflecting the root idea of living under a shelter. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"), so "his dwelling-tent" preserves both the singular masculine noun and the possessive suffix while retaining the root sense of a lived-in shelter.
