SIBI-P1 H4633-01
ordered-arrangements of
| Root | ערך (ʿ-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | arrange, set in order, array, prepare, organize |
| Semantic Range | battle lines or battle arrays, ritual arrangements (e.g., bread on the table), structural arrangements, mental dispositions, preparations or ordered plans |
| Conceptual Significance | The term often conveys intentional ordering—whether of troops, sacred objects, or inner resolve—reflecting the biblical emphasis on divinely or humanly established order rather than randomness. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state (common masculine plural construct) from מַעֲרָךְ. The construct form indicates possession or close association with a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַעֲרָךְ derives from the root ערך, meaning "to arrange" or "set in order." As a masculine plural construct (HNcmpc), מַֽעַרְכֵי means "arrangements of" something that follows in construct relation. The rendering "ordered-arrangements of" preserves both the root idea of deliberate ordering and the masculine plural construct form. |
