the Passing-Over
| Root | פסח (p-s-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to pass over, to skip, to spare, to protect |
| Semantic Range | the act of passing over or sparing; the Passover festival; the Passover sacrifice (lamb); by extension, the commemorative observance of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt. |
| Conceptual Significance | פֶּסַח marks YHWH’s sparing of Israelite households in Egypt and the foundational act of redemption that defines Israel’s identity. It embodies themes of divine protection, judgment passed over, covenant faithfulness, and communal remembrance through ritual observance. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) + noun common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa). Functions as a definite singular noun referring either to the festival or the sacrificial victim associated with it. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun פֶּסַח derives from the root פסח (“to pass over, spare”). Rendering it as “the Passing-Over” preserves the verbal sense of divine action embedded in the root while reflecting the definite article (הַ) and masculine singular absolute form indicated by the morphology. |
