SIBI-P1 H776-26

the firm-standing land

Morphological NotesFeminine singular construct noun with definite article (ה). The morphology code HTd/Ncbsa breaks down as: HT (article), d (definite), Ncbsa (common noun, feminine, singular, absolute state). The word appears 935 times in the Hebrew Bible, making it one of the most frequent nouns.
Rendering RationaleThe root ארץ derives from a verb meaning 'to be firm' or 'to be stable,' suggesting earth as that which is solid and enduring. The morphology HTd/Ncbsa indicates a feminine singular noun with the definite article (ה), so 'the land' preserves both the grammatical gender and the root's semantic connection to firmness and solidity. The rendering 'firm-standing land' captures the etymological sense while maintaining the singular, definite form.
