SIBI-P1 H6051-04
the covering-cloud
| Root | ענן (ʿ-n-n) |
| Core Meanings | covering, clouding, obscuring, enveloping |
| Semantic Range | cloud, storm-cloud, thundercloud, cloud-mass, figurative obscurity or gloom; often the visible manifestation of divine presence (pillar of cloud). |
| Conceptual Significance | The "covering-cloud" frequently signifies YHWH’s manifest presence—guiding, concealing, and protecting Israel (e.g., the wilderness pillar). It embodies both revelation and hiddenness: the Holy One drawing near while veiled in majesty. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ/הֶ); no pronominal suffix; functions as a definite subject or object in context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root ענן, conveying the idea of covering or obscuring. Rendering it as "the covering-cloud" preserves the concrete image of a mass that veils or envelops the sky, while accurately reflecting the masculine singular noun with the definite article ("the") indicated by the morphology. |
