SIBI-P1 H3801-04
the covering-tunic
| Root | כתן (k-t-n) |
| Core Meanings | covering, clothing, garment, that which covers the body |
| Semantic Range | tunic, shirt, coat, robe, undergarment; a basic body garment worn next to the skin, sometimes ornamented or of special status |
| Conceptual Significance | The כְּתֹנֶת is a foundational Israelite garment, ranging from ordinary daily wear to distinctive garments of honor (such as Joseph’s tunic) and priestly attire. It symbolizes identity, status, and at times covenantal or familial significance within the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix; singular and definite. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root associated with covering, so "covering-tunic" preserves the core sense of a garment that covers the body. The morphology (HTd/Ncfsa) indicates a feminine singular absolute noun with the definite article, hence "the" and a singular form are reflected in the rendering. |
