SIBI-P1 H929-04
mute-beast of
| Root | בהמ (b-h-m) |
| Core Meanings | muteness, dumbness, inarticulate life, animality |
| Semantic Range | beast, cattle, livestock, large quadruped, domesticated animal, brute creature (sometimes collective) |
| Conceptual Significance | בְּהֵמָה distinguishes animal life from humanity, often highlighting humanity’s dominion over creatures or contrasting rational speech with animal muteness. It can also symbolize brute strength, vulnerability, or the created order under YHWH’s care. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct state (cfsc). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive, hence "of." No plural or pronominal suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֶּהֱמַת is a feminine singular construct form of בְּהֵמָה. Rendering it "mute-beast of" preserves the probable root sense of inarticulate or mute life (as distinct from speaking humanity) and reflects the singular construct state by the addition of "of," indicating possession or relationship. |
