SIBI-P1 H5650-05
your serving-men
| Root | עבד (ʿ-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | to work, to serve, to labor, to be in service, to be in bondage |
| Semantic Range | male servants, bondmen, slaves, royal officials, subjects in loyal service, worshipers (in relation to God) |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, עֶבֶד expresses both social status (servitude or bonded labor) and covenantal devotion. It can denote humble dependence before a superior—especially before YHWH—where "servants" signifies loyal allegiance and obedient service within the covenant relationship. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in construct form (עֲבָדֵי) with 2ms pronominal suffix (ךָ), literally "servants of you." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֶבֶד derives from the root עבד, "to serve/work," denoting one who is in service or bonded labor. The form is masculine plural construct with a 2nd person masculine singular suffix ("your"), so "your serving-men" preserves the masculine plural sense and explicitly reflects the relational suffix while retaining the root idea of service. |
