the suet-fat
| Root | פדר (p-d-r) |
| Core Meanings | greasiness, fatty richness, suet-fat |
| Semantic Range | suet, hard fatty tissue around internal organs, rich sacrificial fat portions |
| Conceptual Significance | In the sacrificial system, the suet-fat was considered the choicest portion and was reserved for offering to YHWH on the altar. Its distinct naming underscores the importance of offering the richest part to God and reflects Israel’s ritual emphasis on holiness and consecrated portions. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ־). Occurs twice in sacrificial contexts. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּדֶר refers specifically to the fatty suet portions of a sacrificial animal, derived from a root conveying greasiness or rich fatness. The rendering "the suet-fat" preserves this concrete, root-based sense of thick, fatty tissue, while the definite article reflects the masculine singular absolute form with prefixed הַ ("the"). |
