SIBI-P1 H1481-05
Sojourning Woman
| Root | גור (g-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | sojourn, dwell temporarily, reside as an outsider, fear, gather |
| Semantic Range | to sojourn, reside temporarily, live as a foreigner, dwell among others, experience vulnerability or fear as a stranger |
| Conceptual Significance | Hagar embodies the biblical theme of the sojourner—one who lives on the margins and depends on divine provision. Her story highlights YHWH’s care for the outsider and reinforces Israel’s own identity as a people once sojourning in foreign lands. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular, absolute form; no pronominal suffix. Though spelled הָגָר, it is etymologically linked to the root גור (g-w-r). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name הָגָר (Hagar) is a feminine singular proper noun (HNp) derived from the root גור (g-w-r), meaning "to sojourn" or "to dwell as a stranger." Rendering it as "Sojourning Woman" preserves both the root sense of temporary dwelling and the feminine singular identity inherent in the proper name. |
