SIBI-P1 H1366-23

from a boundary-limit

Rootגבל (g-b-l)
Core Meaningsto bind, to twist, to limit, to set bounds, boundary-making
Semantic Rangeboundary, border, territorial limit, enclosed region, coastline, landmark, allotted territory
Conceptual Significanceגְּבוּל is central to Israel’s understanding of divinely appointed land boundaries, inheritance allotments, and covenantal space. It reflects the concept of ordered limits established by יהוה, marking identity, inheritance, and communal belonging.
Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ('from') prefixed to a masculine singular noun (Ncms), appearing in both absolute and construct forms in the data. No pronominal suffixes are present.
Rendering RationaleThe noun גְּבוּל (masculine singular) derives from the root גבל, referring to that which is bound or marked off, originally by a cord. The prefixed preposition מִן ('from') is preserved, and the singular form is reflected with "a boundary-limit," maintaining both the concrete sense of a marked boundary and its derived sense of territorial limit.
