at-that-time
| Root | אז (ʾ-z) |
| Core Meanings | that time, then, temporal point, consequential moment |
| Semantic Range | then, at that time, at that moment, in those days, formerly, from then on, therefore (as a logical consequence) |
| Conceptual Significance | אָז frequently introduces pivotal actions of YHWH in Israel’s history, marking turning points in covenant events, judgment, deliverance, or praise. It frames narrative and prophetic discourse around decisive divine moments in time. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew demonstrative adverb (HD); indeclinable; functions temporally and sometimes inferentially within clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb אָז points demonstratively to a specific time, often marking a decisive moment in a narrative sequence. Rendering it as "at-that-time" preserves both its temporal force and its demonstrative emphasis. As an adverb (HD), it carries no gender, number, or person distinctions, so no such markers are reflected in the English. |
