SIBI-P1 H6086-09
his trees
| Root | עץ (ʿ-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | firmness, wood, tree, timber, solid structure |
| Semantic Range | living trees, wood as material, timber or beams, wooden objects, gallows or stakes, symbolic trees (e.g., idols or life imagery) |
| Conceptual Significance | Trees in the biblical text symbolize strength, life, stability, and material provision. Wood from trees serves both constructive purposes (building, tools) and destructive or idolatrous ones, highlighting themes of creation, dependence, and covenant faithfulness versus misplaced trust. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural noun in construct form (עֵצֵי) with 3ms pronominal suffix (וֹ), yielding "his trees" or "trees of him." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root עץ, conveying firmness or solid wood. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("-his"), so "his trees" preserves both the plural number and the possessive relationship indicated in the morphology. |
