Rootקדש (q-d-sh)
Core Meaningsset-apartness, holiness, consecration, sacredness
Semantic Rangeholiness (abstract quality), sacredness, consecrated object, holy place, sanctuary, sacred portion, that which is devoted to YHWH
Conceptual Significanceקֹדֶשׁ expresses the foundational biblical concept of holiness as separation unto YHWH. It marks spaces, objects, times, and offerings as belonging uniquely to Him, underscoring the distinction between the common and the consecrated in Israel’s covenant life.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix; number and gender are singular masculine.
Rendering RationaleThe noun קֹדֶשׁ derives from the root קדשׁ, expressing the idea of being set apart or consecrated. As a masculine singular noun in the absolute state with the definite article ("the"), it refers to a specific sacred entity. "The set-apart place" preserves the concrete sense often intended in context (e.g., sanctuary) while retaining the root idea of separation for sacred use.
