SIBI-P1 H5676-04
across-region
| Root | עבר (ʿ-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | to pass over, cross, traverse, go beyond, transition |
| Semantic Range | region beyond, opposite side, across, beyond, other side, trans-Jordan area, quarter across a boundary |
| Conceptual Significance | עֵבֶר encodes Israel’s geographic and covenantal orientation—especially in references to "beyond the Jordan," marking boundary, transition, and identity. It reflects the biblical theme of crossing over into promise, inheritance, or new covenantal stages. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in absolute state; functions as a substantive indicating a geographical region located across or beyond a boundary (often the Jordan). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵבֶר derives from the root עבר (“to cross over, pass beyond”) and denotes a region defined by its position across from a reference point. Rendering it as "across-region" preserves the spatial sense of crossing while reflecting the masculine singular absolute noun form indicated by the morphology (HNp). |
