SIBI-P1 `H4720-09`

a holy-place

Root	קדש (q-d-sh)
Core Meanings	holiness, sacredness, set-apartness, consecration
Semantic Range	sanctuary, holy place, sacred precinct, temple area, shrine, consecrated space, asylum
Conceptual Significance	מִקְדָּשׁ signifies the physical locus of divine presence among the people—whether the wilderness tabernacle, the Jerusalem temple, or a sacred precinct. It embodies the concept of separation unto יהוה, marking space as set apart from common use for divine dwelling and worship.
Morphological Notes	Masculine singular noun (HNcmsa/HNcmsc). The prefixed מ (mem) forms a noun of place from the root קדש, indicating a location characterized by holiness; appears in both absolute and construct states.
Rendering Rationale	The noun derives from the root קדש, meaning "to be holy" or "set apart." As a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct), מִקְדָּשׁ denotes a singular place characterized by holiness—thus "a holy-place," preserving both the root idea of sacred set-apartness and the singular grammatical form.
