SIBI-P1 H6654-03
at your (pl.) sides
| Root | צד (ṣ-d) |
| Core Meanings | side, flank, edge, border, beside, adversary |
| Semantic Range | physical side or flank, border or edge, spatial proximity (beside), figurative opposition (adversary), directional orientation |
| Conceptual Significance | The imagery of "sides" in biblical literature often conveys nearness, protection, or threat—what stands at one’s side may either support or oppose. Spatial language built on צד frequently develops into relational or adversarial concepts, reflecting the embodied worldview of biblical Hebrew. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + noun צַד (masculine) in plural construct form צִדֵּי + pronominal suffix 2mp כֶם; literally "in/at the sides of you (m.pl.)." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צַד means "side" or "flank." The form צִדֵּי is masculine plural construct ("sides of"), followed by the 2nd person masculine plural suffix כֶם ("your"), and prefixed with בְּ ("at/in"). Thus "at your (pl.) sides" preserves the plural form and the possessive suffix while maintaining the concrete sense of physical sides. |
