SIBI-P1 H8451-13
instruction
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix; from the verbal root ירה in the Hiphil sense "to instruct." |
| Rendering Rationale | תּוֹרָה derives from the root ירה (y-r-h), "to point out" or "to instruct," conveying the idea of directed guidance. As a feminine singular absolute noun (HNcfsa), it is best rendered "instruction," preserving the singular form and emphasizing the root sense of guided teaching rather than the abstract legal sense of "law." |
