SIBI-P1 H8573-02
a waving-offering
| Root | נוף (n-w-p̄) |
| Core Meanings | to wave, swing, brandish, move back and forth |
| Semantic Range | brandishing (in threat), shaking, tumult, ritual waving of sacrificial portions, the offering presented by such waving |
| Conceptual Significance | In Israel’s sacrificial system, the תְּנוּפָה was a ritual act of moving an offering back and forth before יהוה, symbolizing presentation, dedication, and transfer into sacred service. It embodies the visible motion of consecration and acknowledgment that the gift belongs to Him. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa), derived from the verbal root נוף and denoting the act or result of waving. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תְּנוּפָה derives from the root נוף, meaning to wave or brandish. Rendering it "a waving-offering" preserves the concrete motion of the root while reflecting the feminine singular absolute form (a single, specific ritual act or item presented by waving). |
