SIBI-P1 H2660-02
and Chepher (Pit-of-Shame)
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a proper noun (Np), masculine singular. No article or pronominal suffix. Occurs once. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the proper noun חֵפֶר, a masculine singular name derived from the root חפר. The rendering retains the personal name while preserving its root sense—"pit" or "shame"—by supplying the explanatory gloss "Pit-of-Shame," reflecting the semantic associations of digging and disgrace tied to the root. |
