founding-foundations of
| Root | יסד (y-s-d) |
| Core Meanings | to found, establish, lay a foundation, set firmly, ground |
| Semantic Range | foundations of buildings, structural bases, foundational supports of the earth, metaphorical foundations (societal, moral, or cosmic structures) |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, "foundations" often refer not only to architectural bases but to the divinely established order of creation or society. The term underscores stability, permanence, and the act of YHWH as the One who establishes and grounds the world and its institutions. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural noun (common), construct state, from מוֹסָדָה (feminine of מוֹסָד). The construct form links it to a following genitive ("foundations of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from יסד ("to found, establish") and denotes that which has been laid down as a base. Rendering it as "founding-foundations" preserves the verbal sense of something established or set in place. The form is feminine plural in the construct state, reflected by the plural "foundations" and the relational "of." |
