Tempestuous One
| Root | סוח (s-w-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | sweep away, storm, roar, be tempestuous |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning stormy, sweeping, or tempestuous; refers specifically to the Amorite king defeated by Israel east of the Jordan. |
| Conceptual Significance | Sihon, king of the Amorites, represents a formidable but ultimately overthrown obstacle to Israel’s inheritance. His defeat signifies YHWH’s power over hostile nations and marks a decisive stage in Israel’s approach to the Promised Land. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew proper noun (HNp), masculine singular; the name of an Amorite king. No pronominal suffixes or inflectional variations in the cited forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name סִיחוֹן (Çîychôwn) is traditionally linked to the root סוח, conveying storming or sweeping force. Rendering it as "Tempestuous One" preserves the masculine singular proper noun form (HNp) while reflecting the likely root sense of turbulent or storm-like power. |
