SIBI-P1 H6256-01
at the appointed time
| Root | עת (ʿ-t) |
| Core Meanings | time, season, appointed time, occasion |
| Semantic Range | time, season, appointed time, proper time, occasion, circumstance; sometimes an opportune or divinely appointed moment |
| Conceptual Significance | עֵת often denotes not merely chronological time but a fitting or appointed season within divine ordering. It underscores the biblical view that events unfold according to set times under YHWH’s governance, highlighting themes of providence and timing. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in/at”) prefixed with assimilated definite article to feminine singular noun עֵת (Ncbsa). The form is singular, absolute, and definite by virtue of the article. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵת is feminine singular absolute, here with a prefixed בְּ and the definite article (בָּעֵת), yielding “at the time.” Rendering it as “at the appointed time” preserves the sense of a specific, definite season or occasion inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the singular, definite form with the preposition. |
