near-bringing gift
| Root | קרב (q-r-b) |
| Core Meanings | to draw near, approach, bring near, come into proximity |
| Semantic Range | sacrificial offering, oblation, votive gift, tribute brought to the altar, any gift presented in sacred approach |
| Conceptual Significance | קָרְבָּן emphasizes relational nearness—an act of drawing close to יהוה through a tangible gift. In the cultic system of Israel, it signifies not merely sacrifice but the means of approach, underscoring the theology of access, atonement, gratitude, and covenant fellowship. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (absolute and construct forms attested). Derived from the verbal root קרב with a nominal pattern indicating the result or object of bringing near. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קָרְבָּן derives from the root קרב, "to draw near" or "bring near." Rendering it as "near-bringing gift" preserves the core idea of something brought into nearness, especially to the altar of יהוה, while reflecting its masculine singular form in the morphology. |
