SIBI-P1 H6654-04
to sides
| Root | צדד (ts-d-d) |
| Core Meanings | side, flank, lateral position, opposition, turning aside |
| Semantic Range | side, edge, flank, direction, region; figuratively a side in conflict, adversary, or position taken |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of "side" in biblical Hebrew often conveys spatial orientation (e.g., sides of the tabernacle or altar) and metaphorical alignment (taking a side, opposition). It reflects how physical space and relational stance are intertwined in Hebrew thought. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to a masculine plural absolute noun (common noun, masculine plural absolute). No definite article; number is plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צִדִּים is masculine plural absolute from צַד ("side"), and the prefixed לְ conveys "to" or "for." Rendering it as "to sides" preserves both the spatial root meaning (side/flank) and the masculine plural form indicated by the morphology (Ncmpa). |
