SIBI-P1 H8451-06

the Instruction

Rootירה (y-r-h)
Core Meaningsto instruct, to teach, to direct, to point out, to shoot
Semantic Rangeinstruction, teaching, direction, legal code, covenantal stipulations, specific law, the Mosaic corpus, the Pentateuch as a whole
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, תּוֹרָה signifies YHWH’s revealed instruction guiding covenant life. It encompasses not merely legal statutes but divine direction for righteous living, and it becomes a central term for the covenantal teaching given through Moses and foundational to Israel’s identity.
Morphological NotesNoun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix. Derived noun from the Hiphil sense of ירה (to cause to know, instruct).
Rendering Rationaleתּוֹרָה derives from the root ירה, "to instruct" or "to direct." As a feminine singular noun with the definite article (Ncfsa with prefixed ה), הַתּוֹרָה is best rendered "the Instruction," preserving both the root sense of directed teaching and the definite, singular, feminine form indicated by the morphology.
