your boundary-line
| Root | גבל (g-b-l) |
| Core Meanings | to twist, bind, set bounds, mark off, border |
| Semantic Range | boundary, border, limit, territory, region, coast, domain, allotted portion |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, boundaries marked inheritance and covenantal allotment of land. One’s גְּבוּל signified divinely assigned space, identity, and security within the covenant community. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct form (גְּבוּל) with 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix (ךָ), meaning "your." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גְּבוּל derives from the root גבל, originally referring to a twisted cord used to mark out a boundary. Rendering it as "your boundary-line" preserves the concrete root imagery of a marked-off limit while reflecting the masculine singular noun in construct with a 2nd masculine singular suffix ("your"). |
