Rootקדש (q-d-sh)
Core Meaningsset apart, consecrate, make holy, dedicate, treat as sacred
Semantic Rangeholiness, sacredness, consecrated state, holy thing, sacred object, sanctuary, holy portion, holy day
Conceptual Significanceקֹדֶשׁ expresses the fundamental biblical concept of being set apart to יהוה—whether a place, object, time, or people. It marks the boundary between the common and the sacred, underscoring covenant identity, divine presence, and the ordered distinction between what belongs to יהוה and what is ordinary.
Morphological NotesHebrew noun, common masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa); derived from the verbal root קדש; functions as both an abstract noun (holiness) and a concrete noun (holy thing/place).
Rendering Rationaleקֹדֶשׁ is a masculine singular absolute noun derived from the root קדש, "to set apart, consecrate." The rendering "set-apartness" preserves the core idea of separation unto sacred purpose while reflecting the singular noun form without adding number or gender not present in English.
