SIBI-P1 H1320-02
flesh
| Root | בשר (b-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | flesh, soft tissue, bodily substance, kinship (as shared flesh), living corporeality |
| Semantic Range | Physical flesh or meat; the human or animal body; living corporeality; blood-relatives ("one flesh"); humanity in its frailty; euphemism for sexual organs; skin or bodily substance. |
| Conceptual Significance | "Flesh" expresses human mortality and frailty in contrast to the רוח (spirit), underscores kinship bonds ("one flesh"), and plays a central role in sacrificial language and covenantal identity, where embodied life stands before יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, masculine singular, absolute state (HNcmsa). No article or pronominal suffix present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a common masculine singular absolute noun, so it is rendered with the singular mass noun "flesh." This preserves the concrete, physical sense of the root בשר, which denotes the soft substance of the body and by extension embodied human life or kinship. |
