SIBI-P1 H2975-09
river-channels
| Root | יאר (y-ʾ-r) |
| Core Meanings | river, great river, Nile, river-channel, watercourse |
| Semantic Range | The Nile River; major rivers such as the Tigris; canals, irrigation channels, moats, or branching streams connected to a principal river. |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, יְאֹר is closely associated with Egypt and the Nile, the source of Egypt’s fertility, economy, and power. References to its "river-channels" often highlight themes of abundance, judgment (as in the plagues), or imperial strength tied to life-giving waters. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine noun in the plural absolute form; from יְאֹר (yᵉʾôr). The plural ending -ִים marks masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יְאֹר denotes a great river—especially the Nile—and by extension its canals and branching waterways. The form יְאֹרִים is masculine plural absolute (HNcmpa), so the rendering "river-channels" preserves both the core idea of a major river system and the plural number indicated by the morphology. |
