SIBI-P1 H929-13
in the mute-beast of
| Root | בהם (b-h-m) |
| Core Meanings | muteness, dumbness, beastliness, animal life |
| Semantic Range | beast, cattle, livestock, large domesticated animals, quadrupeds, animals collectively |
| Conceptual Significance | בְּהֵמָה designates domesticated or large animals in contrast to humanity, often highlighting human stewardship, sacrificial systems, economic livelihood, or the broader distinction between rational humanity and mute animal life in biblical thought. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state (בֶהֱמַת) with prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"). No pronominal suffix; construct form links it to a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בְּהֵמָה likely derives from a root conveying muteness or dumbness, hence "mute-beast." The form is feminine singular construct (Ncfsc) with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"), requiring a following genitive relationship, thus "in the mute-beast of," preserving both the root sense and the construct form. |
