SIBI-P1 H750-01
long-of
| Root | ארך (ʾ-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | length, prolonging, extending, enduring |
| Semantic Range | long (in measure), prolonged, enduring, patient, slow (especially to anger when paired with אַף) |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in the expression “long of nostrils” to describe divine patience, highlighting YHWH’s forbearance and restrained anger. The term conveys not merely duration but a moral quality of endurance and covenantal mercy. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular construct form from אָרֵךְ; used attributively in construct chains (e.g., אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם, “long of nostrils”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root ארך meaning “to be long” or “to prolong.” In the masculine singular construct form (HAamsc), it functions as “long-of …,” linking to what follows (e.g., “long-of nose” = slow to anger). Rendering it as “long-of” preserves both the root sense of length and the construct relationship. |
