her standing-place
| Root | קום (q-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | rise, stand, arise, be established, endure |
| Semantic Range | physical location, dwelling place, site, appointed spot, position, standing, condition or state (figurative) |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used for a divinely appointed location, dwelling, or sphere of activity, מָקוֹם can signify both physical space and an established position or condition. It underscores the idea of what is set or made to stand—whether a homeland, a sanctuary, or one’s ordained place within YHWH’s ordering. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct (מְקוֹם) with 3fs pronominal suffix (־הּ), yielding “her place.” Though the lexeme can appear in feminine form, this instance is masculine singular construct + suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | מָקוֹם derives from the root קום (“to rise, stand”). The noun literally denotes a "standing-place," a spot where something stands or is established. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd feminine singular suffix, so "her standing-place" accurately reflects both the root sense and the possessive morphology. |
