Hole-of-the-Gidgad

Rootחור (ḥ-w-r)
Core Meaningshole, hollow, cavern, cavity
Semantic RangeA physical hole, hollow, or cavern; by extension a place characterized by such a feature; also appears in personal and place names.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a wilderness station in Israel’s journey, the name likely reflects a notable geographical feature (a hollow or ravine). Such place names root Israel’s narrative in tangible landscape features, reinforcing the historical and physical reality of the wilderness wanderings.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper noun (Np); a compound place name consisting of חֹר in construct with הַגִּדְגָּד (with prefixed definite article).
Rendering RationaleThe name derives from חוֹר ("hole, hollow") combined with הַגִּדְגָּד ("the Gidgad"), forming a construct chain place name. Rendering it "Hole-of-the-Gidgad" preserves the concrete root sense of a hollow or cavern and reflects its masculine singular proper noun form.
