SIBI-P1 H3915-14
night of
| Root | ליל (l-y-l) |
| Core Meanings | night, darkness, turning away of light, obscurity |
| Semantic Range | nighttime, period of darkness, midnight, a time of distress or adversity, figurative darkness |
| Conceptual Significance | "Night" in the Hebrew Bible often represents not only the literal dark hours but also symbolic periods of danger, judgment, concealment, or divine encounter. It can mark transitions, testing, or moments when human vulnerability contrasts with divine watchfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the construct state; from לַיִל (layil). The construct form links it grammatically to a subsequent word, expressing possession or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לַיִל (layil) means "night," derived from a root associated with the turning away or twisting of light into darkness. The form here is masculine singular construct (Ncmsc), which requires a relational rendering, hence "night of," preserving both its singular masculine form and its construct linkage to a following noun. |
