SIBI-P1 H7340-01

Broad-Place

Rootרחב (r-ḥ-b)
Core Meaningsbreadth, width, spaciousness, enlargement, openness
Semantic RangeA broad or open place, wide expanse, public square; as a proper noun, the name of a town in Syria and in Israel, and of individuals bearing the name.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a place name, "Broad-Place" evokes the idea of openness and space—often associated in Scripture with relief, freedom, or security in contrast to constriction. The root concept of spaciousness can symbolically convey deliverance or blessing within the biblical narrative context.
Morphological NotesProper noun (HNp), masculine singular absolute. Used as a place name and also as a personal name. No pronominal suffix or construct form in the cited occurrences.
Rendering RationaleThe name derives from the root רחב (r-ḥ-b), meaning "to be wide" or "spacious." Rendering it as "Broad-Place" preserves the core idea of breadth inherent in the root while reflecting its function as a singular proper noun (masculine singular absolute) designating a specific location.
