| Root | גבל (g-b-l) |
| Core Meanings | to bind, to border, to set limits, boundary-marking |
| Semantic Range | boundary, border, territorial limit, domain, allotted land, edge, limit of authority or space |
| Conceptual Significance | גְּבוּל reflects the divinely established boundaries of land and inheritance in Israel’s covenant life. It underscores the theological theme that territories and limits are set and upheld by YHWH, who assigns and safeguards each tribe’s allotted portion. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + noun גְּבוּל (masculine singular construct) + 3ms pronominal suffix "-וֹ" ("his"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גְּבוּל derives from the root גבל, conveying the idea of binding or marking off a limit. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in/within"), hence "within his boundary-line," preserving both the root sense of a marked limit and the masculine singular possessive. |
