SIBI-P1 H2022-02
in the mountain of
| Root | הרר (h-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | mountain, hill, elevation, highland |
| Semantic Range | mountain, hill, hill country, highlands, elevated region; occasionally figurative for power, prominence, or exalted status |
| Conceptual Significance | Mountains in the biblical text signify places of divine revelation, covenant encounter, refuge, and territorial identity. As elevated spaces, they often symbolize stability, nearness to the heavens, and sites where YHWH reveals His presence or establishes covenantal events. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in”) prefixed to a masculine singular construct noun (הַר). The construct state requires a following noun to complete the sense (“mountain of …”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun הַר (har) derives from the root הרר, conveying elevation or mountainous height. The form is masculine singular construct (Ncmsc) with the prefixed preposition בְּ (“in”), so the rendering preserves the singular masculine sense and the construct relationship by translating “in the mountain of,” indicating it governs a following genitive. |
