to Ḥeṣron (Courtyard-one)

Rootחצר (ḥ-ṣ-r)
Core Meaningsenclosure, courtyard, settlement, village
Semantic RangePersonal name of two Israelites; name of a clan descended from Judah; name of a location in the territory of Judah. The underlying root conveys the idea of an enclosed place or settlement.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a personal and clan name within Judah’s genealogy, Ḥeṣron connects the lineage of Israel to the imagery of settled life and established households. The root idea of enclosure or courtyard reflects themes of dwelling, inheritance, and covenantal continuity within the land.
Morphological NotesProper masculine singular noun (Np) with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). The form is in the absolute state and functions as a personal or place name.
Rendering RationaleThe name חֶצְרוֹן derives from the root חצר, meaning "courtyard" or "enclosed settlement." Rendering it as "Ḥeṣron (Courtyard-one)" preserves the connection to the root while recognizing it as a masculine singular proper noun. The prefixed לְ is reflected by "to," matching the prepositional form shown in the morphology (HR/Np).
