house

Rootבנה (b-n-h)
Core Meaningsbuild, construct, establish, family dwelling
Semantic RangeLiteral: physical house, tent, building; extended: family/household, temple, palace, court, prison, tablet, web, inside/within; figurative: dynasty, place of dwelling or containment.
Conceptual Significanceבית symbolizes G-d's desire for a 'home' in the world (Midrash), representing intimacy with His people, family covenantal bonds, and the Temple as divine dwelling; it underscores themes of belonging, protection, and sacred space throughout Scripture, from patriarchal households to eschatological restoration.
Morphological NotesHNcmsc: Hebrew Noun, common gender, masculine singular construct form (בֵּית / bayith); the construct state indicates it governs or is bound to a following noun, as in 'house of...'; surfaces show vocalization variations (e.g., בֵֽית with maqqef).
Rendering Rationale'House' preserves the core meaning of בית as a built dwelling derived from the root בנה ('to build'), reflecting its etymological connection to construction and family habitation; it accurately matches the morphology HNcmsc (noun, common gender, masculine, singular construct), using a singular masculine noun form without suffixes.
