Rootכהן (k-h-n)
Core Meaningsto officiate, to serve as priest, to mediate in cultic service
Semantic Rangepriest in cultic service, officiating minister, chief officer, court official, princely administrator (in extended usage).
Conceptual SignificanceThe כֹּהֵן functions as mediator between the people and יהוה, overseeing sacrifice, instruction in Torah, and ritual purity. His role embodies ordered worship and covenant mediation within Israel’s communal life.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun כֹּהֵן, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa).
