the night-lodging place
| Root | לון (l-w-n) |
| Core Meanings | to lodge, spend the night, remain, abide temporarily |
| Semantic Range | inn, lodging place, caravan stop, encampment site, temporary shelter for the night |
| Conceptual Significance | The מָלוֹן represents a place of temporary rest during journeys, often associated with vulnerability, transition, and divine encounter (e.g., covenantal or testing moments occurring "on the way" at a lodging place). |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ); from the root לון forming a locative noun denoting a place of lodging. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מָלוֹן derives from the root לון, "to lodge or spend the night." Rendering it as "the night-lodging place" preserves the verbal sense of temporary overnight staying while reflecting the masculine singular noun with the definite article ("the") indicated by the morphology. |
