and Shelterings
| Root | חפף (ḥ-p-p) |
| Core Meanings | to cover, surround, shelter, protect |
| Semantic Range | covering, canopy, bridal chamber, shelter, protection, surrounding presence |
| Conceptual Significance | As a personal and clan name among the Israelites, חֻפִּים may evoke the idea of divine shelter or protective covering, themes associated with covenantal protection and familial identity within Israel. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + proper noun masculine plural (Np). The plural form likely reflects a clan or family name derived from a noun related to חֻפָּה (canopy, covering). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name חֻפִּים (Chuppim) is morphologically a masculine plural proper noun, prefixed with the conjunction "and." It derives from the root חפף, meaning "to cover" or "to shelter." Rendering it as "Shelterings" preserves both the plural masculine form and the root sense of covering or protection embedded in the name. |
