Qadesh (Holy-Place)

Morphological NotesPrimarily a masculine singular proper noun (HNp) referring to a place name; one occurrence reflects Qal perfect 2nd masculine singular (HVpv2ms) from the verbal root קדשׁ.
Rendering RationaleThe name derives from the root קדשׁ meaning "to be holy, set apart." Rendering it as "Qadesh (Holy-Place)" preserves the proper noun form (masculine singular) while making explicit the root sense of sacred set-apartness embedded in the name. In its verbal occurrence (Qal perfect 2ms), it carries the sense "you were holy" or "you became set apart," reflecting second masculine singular form.
