SIBI-P1 H1242-02
break of day
| Root | בקר (b-q-r) |
| Core Meanings | to break forth, to split open, to examine, to seek out, to inspect |
| Semantic Range | dawn, daybreak, early morning, morning time, the next day (in temporal sequence) |
| Conceptual Significance | בֹּקֶר marks the daily renewal of light after darkness, often symbolizing deliverance, divine intervention, new beginnings, and the transition from distress to relief in biblical narrative and poetry. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no article or suffix; functions as a temporal noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֹּקֶר derives from the root בקר, conveying the idea of breaking forth or inspection. As a masculine singular absolute noun (HNcmsa), "break of day" preserves the singular form and reflects the imagery of light breaking forth, maintaining the root connection rather than using the more generalized "morning." |
