Rootעבר (ʿ-b-r)
Core Meaningsto cross, pass over, traverse, transition, move beyond
Semantic Rangebecause of, on account of, for the sake of, in order that, for the purpose of
Conceptual SignificanceBy deriving causation and purpose from the imagery of crossing or passing over, עָבוּר frames events as occurring on account of a prior movement or transition. It reflects the biblical worldview in which actions and outcomes are linked through purposeful passage—whether physical, historical, or covenantal.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular construct noun (Ncmsc) from the passive participle of עבר, with prefixed preposition בַּ. Functions adverbially as a prepositional expression governing a following noun or clause.
Rendering Rationaleעָבוּר is a masculine singular noun in the construct state, derived as a passive participle from עבר (“to cross, pass over”). With the prefixed בַּ (“in/for”), it literally denotes "for the passing-over of," which developed idiomatically into "for the sake of" or "because of." The rendering preserves the underlying imagery of crossing or transition while reflecting its masculine singular construct form.
