SIBI-P1 H7704-04
in the spread-out field
| Root | שדה (ś-d-h) |
| Core Meanings | to spread out, open expanse, cultivated field, countryside |
| Semantic Range | field, open countryside, cultivated land, rural territory, wild or uncultivated area beyond settlements |
| Conceptual Significance | The שָׂדֶה represents the open, life-sustaining land central to Israel’s agrarian identity. It is the place of labor, provision, encounter, and sometimes danger—standing in contrast to the security of the city and symbolizing both blessing and vulnerability within covenant life. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בִּ ("in") prefixed to a masculine singular noun in the construct state (שְׂדֵה). Though construct in form, it functions here adverbially as a locative expression. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׂדֶה derives from a root conveying the idea of spreading out into an open expanse. Rendering it as "the spread-out field" preserves this core imagery of open land. The prefixed בִּ and the masculine singular construct form (Ncmsc) are reflected in the singular phrase "in the ... field." |
