SIBI-P1 H8432-21
midst-of
| Root | תוך (t-w-k) |
| Core Meanings | midpoint, center, interior, bisection, inner part |
| Semantic Range | midst, middle, interior, center, among, between, within, through (as passing through the interior) |
| Conceptual Significance | תּוֹךְ expresses the idea of being in the very center or inner part of something—whether a physical space (the midst of the camp) or a community (among the people). Theologically, it often underscores divine immanence (YHWH in the midst of Israel) or covenantal presence within the gathered assembly. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct state (HNcmsc). The construct form binds the word to a following noun, expressing possession or spatial relation ("the midst of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תּוֹךְ is a masculine singular construct form, requiring the sense "midst of" to link it grammatically to a following noun. Rendering it as "midst-of" preserves both the construct relationship and the root idea of a central or bisected interior space. |
