at their head
| Root | ראש (r-ʾ-sh) |
| Core Meanings | head, top, beginning, chief, summit, foremost position |
| Semantic Range | physical head; top or summit; beginning of time; chief or leader; foremost place; total or sum; source or origin |
| Conceptual Significance | רֹאשׁ conveys primacy, authority, and origin. In tribal and military contexts, being "at the head" signifies leadership and ordered structure. The term often marks hierarchy and covenantal organization within Israel, reflecting the importance of divinely appointed leadership and beginnings. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("at/in") + noun רֹאשׁ (masculine singular construct) + 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix ם ("their"). Strong’s H7218. Occurs eight times in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֹאשׁ ("head, top, chief") with the 3rd masculine plural suffix (-ם, "their") forms "their head." The prefixed preposition בְּ ("in/at") yields "at their head," preserving both the core image of the head as the leading or foremost position and the masculine plural possessive sense required by the morphology (Ncmsc + Sp3mp). |
