SIBI-P1 H5775-01
in the flying creature
| Root | עוף (ʿ-w-p̄) |
| Core Meanings | to fly, to soar, to move swiftly through the air |
| Semantic Range | bird, fowl, flying creature, winged animal (often collective for birds as a class) |
| Conceptual Significance | עוֹף functions in Genesis and elsewhere as one of the major categories of living beings created by YHWH, emphasizing the ordered diversity of life—those that "fly" in the expanse of the heavens—within the biblical worldview of creation. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed בְּ + definite article (ה assimilated), yielding בָּעוֹף ("in the flying creature"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עוֹף derives from the root עוף, "to fly," and denotes a flying creature. The form is masculine singular absolute with a prefixed preposition בְּ and the definite article (assimilated), so "in the flying creature" preserves both the singular masculine form and the locative force of the prefix while retaining the root idea of flight. |
