the shag-wool
| Root | צמר (ṣ-m-r) |
| Core Meanings | shagginess, woolly growth, fleece, shaggy covering |
| Semantic Range | wool, fleece, wool fiber, woolen material, the coat of sheep or goats |
| Conceptual Significance | Wool was a primary textile resource in ancient Israel, central to clothing production, trade, and pastoral economy. It also appears in legal contexts (e.g., prohibitions against mixed fabrics) and poetic imagery symbolizing purity, abundance, or pastoral life. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ־). No pronominal suffix; functions as a definite mass noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צֶמֶר denotes wool and derives from a root conveying the idea of shagginess or woolly growth. Rendering it as "the shag-wool" preserves this root sense while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form with the definite article ("the") indicated by the morphology. |
