SIBI-P1 H3516-02
the heavy organ
| Root | כבד (k-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | heaviness, weight, honor, glory, burden |
| Semantic Range | liver; the heaviest internal organ; figuratively associated with weight, heaviness, or inner being in some contexts |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical anthropology, internal organs such as the liver were sometimes viewed as seats of emotion or vitality. The term reflects the Hebrew tendency to name body parts according to perceived physical qualities—in this case, weight—linking bodily substance with the broader theological concept of "heaviness" that also underlies ideas of honor and glory (כָּבוֹד). |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־). From כָּבֵד (H3516), derived from the root כבד. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כָּבֵד derives from the root כבד, meaning "heavy" or "weighty." In this feminine singular absolute form with the definite article ("the"), it refers to the liver, understood in Hebrew thought as the "heavy" organ of the body. The rendering preserves the singular form and highlights the root sense of heaviness embedded in the term. |
