SIBI-P1 H6051-03

in a cloud-mass

Rootענן (ʿ-n-n)
Core Meaningscloud, covering, obscuring mass, overcasting
Semantic Rangecloud, storm-cloud, thick cloud-cover, symbolic veil of divine presence, atmospheric obscurity
Conceptual SignificanceThe cloud frequently signifies the manifest yet concealed presence of יהוה—guiding, protecting, and overshadowing (e.g., wilderness wanderings, Sinai theophany). It embodies both revelation and hiddenness, marking sacred encounter and divine majesty.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ (“in”) prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun עָנָן; no definite article present in the form.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עָנָן denotes a cloud as a covering or overcasting mass in the sky, reflecting the root idea of enveloping or obscuring. The form is masculine singular absolute with the prefixed preposition בְּ (“in”), so the rendering preserves both the singular sense and the locative function.
