SIBI-P1 H6256-19

for appointed-times

Rootעת (ʿ-t)
Core Meaningstime, appointed time, season, occasion, proper moment
Semantic Rangeappointed times, seasons, occasions, recurring times, due seasons, strategic or fitting moments
Conceptual Significanceעֵת often marks divinely ordered or significant moments in biblical thought, emphasizing that events unfold according to appointed seasons established by YHWH. The plural form can highlight recurring or multiple ordained occasions within sacred or historical time.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to the masculine plural absolute form עִתִּים of the feminine noun עֵת. No pronominal suffix. Though עֵת is feminine, its plural form takes a masculine ending -ים.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵת denotes a set or appointed time, not merely abstract time. The form עִתִּים is masculine plural, and with the prefixed preposition לְ it means "for" or "unto." Rendering it as "for appointed-times" preserves both the plural number and the sense of designated or fitting moments inherent in the root.
