SIBI-P1 H5785-07
skin
| Root | עור (ʿ-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | skin, hide, leather, bareness, outer covering |
| Semantic Range | skin of humans or animals; animal hide; leather as a material; by extension, the outer surface or covering of something. |
| Conceptual Significance | עוֹר frequently appears in contexts of sacrifice (the priest receiving the hide) and in foundational narratives such as garments of skin in Genesis 3:21, highlighting themes of covering, vulnerability, and provision. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular absolute noun derived from the root עור; distinct from אוֹר (“light”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular absolute noun (HNcmsa), so the rendering preserves singular number with the simple noun “skin.” This reflects the root עור in its nominal sense of the outer, bare covering of a body, whether human or animal, often extended to processed hide or leather. |
