gathered-assembly of
| Root | קהל (q-h-l) |
| Core Meanings | to gather, assemble, convene, call together |
| Semantic Range | assembly, congregation, gathered community, convoked company, public meeting, corporate body of people |
| Conceptual Significance | קָהָל often denotes the covenant community assembled before YHWH, especially in worship, legal, or covenant-renewal contexts. It emphasizes Israel not merely as a people, but as a divinely gathered body called together for sacred purpose. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the construct state (HNcmsc). The construct form requires a following genitive noun, hence "of." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root קהל, meaning "to gather" or "assemble," and refers to a body formed by being called together. Rendering it as "gathered-assembly of" preserves the root idea of active assembling and reflects the masculine singular construct form ("assembly of"), which grammatically links this noun to what follows. |
