SIBI-P1 H1818-03
in blood
| Root | דמם (d-m-m) |
| Core Meanings | blood, lifeblood, that which flows out in death, silence/stillness (by association with death) |
| Semantic Range | Literal blood of humans or animals; lifeblood; bloodshed; bloodguilt; violent death; by extension grape juice (as blood-colored). |
| Conceptual Significance | Blood represents life in biblical thought (cf. life in the blood) and is central to themes of atonement, covenant, violence, and guilt. Its shedding signifies both mortal loss and the gravity of injustice, while sacrificial blood embodies purification and reconciliation. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in/with/by”) prefixed to a masculine singular noun דָּם; forms labeled as either absolute or construct are orthographically identical here. No article or pronominal suffix is present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דָּם is masculine singular, here preceded by the inseparable preposition בְּ (“in/with/by”). The rendering “in blood” preserves the singular form and retains the concrete, root-based sense of lifeblood as the substance whose shedding brings death. |
