SIBI-P1 H1160-01
Burning-One
| Root | בער (b-ʿ-r) |
| Core Meanings | to burn, consume, kindle, blaze |
| Semantic Range | personal name; one characterized by burning or blazing; possibly connoting a torch-like or fiery quality |
| Conceptual Significance | As the father of Balaam (Numbers 22–24) and of an Edomite king (Genesis 36:32), the name "Burning-One" may subtly evoke intensity, destructive power, or passionate force—imagery often associated with fire in biblical thought. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular (HNp). In some listings parsed as a masculine singular noun form. Functions as a personal name (father of Balaam; father of an Edomite king). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name בְּעוֹר derives from the root בער, "to burn" or "to blaze." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it is rendered "Burning-One," preserving both the fiery root meaning and the singular masculine personal form indicated by the morphology. |
