hollow-measure of
| Root | לוג (l-w-g) |
| Core Meanings | to hollow, to deepen, cavity, vessel-measure |
| Semantic Range | a small liquid measure; specifically a standardized measure for oil; by extension the vessel used for measuring |
| Conceptual Significance | The "log" functions as a precise ritual measure in Levitical purification rites (notably in Leviticus 14), underscoring the importance of exact quantities in priestly procedures and the material concreteness of holiness in Israel’s worship practices. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct state (HNcmsc); appears in bound form linking it to a genitive complement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root likely meaning "to hollow" or "to deepen," referring to a hollowed vessel used as a standard measure. Rendering it as "hollow-measure" preserves this concrete imagery. The form is masculine singular in the construct state (cmsc), so "of" reflects its bound relationship to a following noun (e.g., "hollow-measure of oil"). |
