SIBI-P1 `H633-01`

a binding

Root	אסר (ʾ-s-r)
Core Meanings	to bind, tie, fetter, imprison, constrain
Semantic Range	bond, fetter, imprisonment, constraint, binding obligation
Conceptual Significance	The term evokes the physical and legal realities of captivity and restraint in the ancient Near East. It can signify literal imprisonment or metaphorical constraint, highlighting themes of bondage and deliverance that are central to Israel’s historical and theological memory.
Morphological Notes	Masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute (ANcmsa) and construct (ANcmsc) states. Also attested as a proper noun (HNp) in related forms, but the common noun derives from the verbal root אסר.
Rendering Rationale	The noun אֱסָר derives from the root אסר (“to bind”). As a masculine singular noun in absolute or construct form (ANcmsa/ANcmsc), it denotes a single instance or state of binding. Rendering it as “a binding” preserves the concrete sense of something bound or imposed while accurately reflecting the masculine singular morphology.
