| Root | בגד (b-g-d) |
| Core Meanings | covering, concealment, acting covertly, treachery, betrayal |
| Semantic Range | Garment, clothing, robe, covering; figuratively treachery, betrayal, or deceptive dealing. |
| Conceptual Significance | בֶּגֶד highlights the dual imagery of clothing as physical covering and betrayal as moral concealment. In biblical thought, garments can symbolize identity, status, or righteousness, while the root connection to treachery underscores themes of hidden unfaithfulness beneath outward appearance. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc) with prefixed preposition בְ ("in/with"). The construct form indicates a genitive relationship with a following word. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֶּגֶד derives from the root בגד, which carries the idea of covering and, by extension, acting covertly or treacherously. Rendering it as "covering-garment" preserves the concrete sense of a garment while echoing the root’s notion of concealment. The prefixed בְ is reflected by "in," and the singular masculine construct form is conveyed by "garment of," indicating it stands in construct with a following noun. |
