SIBI-P1 H5785-06
skin-of
| Root | עור (ʿ-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | skin, hide, outer covering, naked surface |
| Semantic Range | animal skin, hide prepared as leather, human skin, outer surface or covering |
| Conceptual Significance | עוֹר frequently appears in contexts of garments of skin (e.g., Genesis 3:21) and sacrificial hides, highlighting themes of covering, vulnerability, and provision. As the body’s outer layer, it symbolizes both exposure and the need for protective covering in biblical theology. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (Ncmsc) in its primary occurrences; one orthographic instance may appear as a feminine singular absolute form, but the lexeme is ordinarily masculine. The construct form links it to a following genitive ("skin of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עוֹר denotes "skin" or "hide," reflecting the root sense of an outer covering. The morphology (Ncmsc) indicates a masculine singular construct form, so the rendering "skin-of" preserves both the singular masculine sense and its bound, possessive relationship to a following noun. |
