SIBI-P1 H4264-12

encampment-of

Rootחנה (ḥ-n-h)
Core Meaningsto encamp, to pitch tent, to settle temporarily, to station
Semantic Rangecamp, encampment, army camp, military host, company, band, organized group (human or angelic), sacred precincts arranged in ordered formation
Conceptual Significanceמַחֲנֶה conveys the ordered, communal life of Israel in transit, especially in the wilderness narratives where the camp is structured around the divine presence. It can also denote heavenly or military hosts, emphasizing organized assembly under authority—whether human or divine.
Morphological NotesMasculine noun, singular, construct state (from חנה). The construct form links it to a following genitive (e.g., "encampment of Israel").
Rendering RationaleThe noun מַחֲנֶה derives from the root חנה (“to encamp, to pitch tent”), so "encampment" preserves the verbal idea of settling or stationing. The morphology indicates masculine singular construct (HNcbsc), which is reflected by the rendering "encampment-of," marking its bound, relational form.
