SIBI-P1 H2226-01

to Rising-One

Rootזרח (z-r-ḥ)
Core Meaningsto rise, to shine, to break forth as light, dawning
Semantic Rangedawning, sunrise, shining forth, radiance; as a proper name, "Zerah" or "Zerach"
Conceptual SignificanceAs a personal name borne by several Israelites (notably a son of Judah), the term evokes imagery of rising light or new beginnings. The root association with dawn may symbolize prominence, emergence, or divine favor in biblical narrative contexts.
Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). The name זֶרַח is formed from the verbal root זרח and functions as a personal name.
Rendering RationaleThe name זֶרַח derives from the root זרח, meaning "to rise" or "to shine," especially of the sun at dawn. The prefixed לְ indicates "to" or "belonging to," and the noun is a masculine singular proper name, so "to Rising-One" preserves both the root sense of dawning light and the grammatical form.
