SIBI-P1 H5775-13
and from the flying creature
| Root | עוף (ʿ-w-p) |
| Core Meanings | to fly, to soar, winged movement, aerial motion |
| Semantic Range | bird, fowl, flying creature, winged animal, that which soars |
| Conceptual Significance | עוֹף marks the category of winged creatures in creation accounts and dietary laws, distinguishing aerial life from land and sea creatures. It reflects the biblical worldview of ordered realms—sky, land, and sea—each populated according to its kind. |
| Morphological Notes | וּ (conjunction “and”) + מֵ (preposition “from”) + עוֹף (masculine singular construct noun). The construct form follows the preposition and is grammatically singular, though frequently collective in sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עוֹף derives from the root עוף (“to fly, to soar”) and denotes that which flies. The form is masculine singular construct (Ncmsc) preceded by the conjunction וּ (“and”) and the preposition מֵ (“from”), yielding “and from the flying creature.” Though singular in form, it often functions collectively for bird-kind. |
