SIBI-P1 H3849-02
and a log-measure
| Root | לוג (l-w-g) |
| Core Meanings | hollowing, scooping, vessel-forming, measured cavity |
| Semantic Range | A small liquid measure (traditionally about a sixth of a hin), especially of oil; a standardized vessel-based quantity used in ritual contexts. |
| Conceptual Significance | The log functions as a precise ritual measure in priestly legislation (notably in Leviticus), underscoring the importance of exactness and order in offerings and purification rites. Its likely connection to a hollowed vessel reflects the concrete, embodied nature of biblical systems of measurement. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (Ncmsa/Ncmsc) with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). Appears in both absolute and construct states; construct sense is determined by the following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֹג is a masculine singular unit of liquid measure, here preceded by the conjunction וְ (“and”). Rendering it as "log-measure" preserves its identity as a specific hollow-based vessel measure rather than generalizing it to an abstract quantity. The singular masculine form is maintained, and the rendering accommodates both absolute ("a log-measure") and construct ("a log-measure of") uses in context. |
