SIBI-P1 H8321-01

red-rich vine-stock

Rootשׂרק (ś-r-q)
Core Meaningsredness, vivid color, rich hue
Semantic Rangechoice vine, noble vine, vine yielding richly colored (purple/red) grapes, superior wine-stock
Conceptual SignificanceThis term denotes a carefully cultivated, superior vine, symbolizing covenant privilege and intentional planting by YHWH (e.g., Isaiah 5:2; Jeremiah 2:21). It conveys not merely quality but richness of character and intended fruitfulness, often in contrast to Israel’s later degeneration.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in the absolute state; refers to a specific cultivated variety of vine known for its deep-colored grapes. No article or suffix is present.
Rendering RationaleThe noun is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so it is rendered as a singular concrete object: "vine-stock." The addition of "red-rich" reflects the root sense associated with redness or deep color, preserving the semantic link to richly hued, choice grapes rather than simply translating it as "choice."
