SIBI-P1 H6532-03
to the separating-curtain
| Root | פרך (p-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | break apart, divide, crush, separate |
| Semantic Range | veil, curtain, partition, screen—especially the sacred divider within the Tabernacle or Temple separating holy spaces |
| Conceptual Significance | The פֹּרֶכֶת is the sacred curtain dividing the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, embodying the concept of separation between the holy and the most holy. It represents both divine transcendence and restricted access to the presence of יהוה within Israel’s sanctuary worship. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun (Ncfsa), functioning as a substantive participial form; prefixed with ל (preposition "to/for") and definite article assimilated (לַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֹּרֶכֶת is a feminine singular form, here with the prefixed preposition ל ("to/for") and the definite article ("the"). Rendering it as "separating-curtain" preserves its participial sense from the root פרך (to break apart or divide), highlighting its function as that which effects separation, while accurately reflecting its feminine singular form and prefixed preposition. |
