SIBI-P1 `H7339-02`

in the broad-places

Root	רחב (r-ḥ-b)
Core Meanings	breadth, width, spaciousness, enlargement, openness
Semantic Range	broad place, open square, plaza, public square, wide street, open area within a settlement
Conceptual Significance	In biblical settings, the רְחֹב was a central open space for gathering, commerce, proclamation, and judgment. Its association with breadth reflects the root idea of spaciousness, often symbolizing openness, public life, or the social heart of a community.
Morphological Notes	Preposition ב + definite article (assimilated) + noun common feminine plural absolute of רְחֹב.
Rendering Rationale	The noun רְחֹב derives from the root רחב, conveying breadth or spaciousness. The form is feminine plural absolute with the prefixed preposition and definite article ("in the"), so "in the broad-places" preserves both the plural number and the root sense of wide, open areas within a city.
