SIBI-P1 H5116-01
in (the) dwelling-abode of
| Root | נוה (n-w-h) |
| Core Meanings | dwelling, habitation, resting place, pasture, pleasant abode |
| Semantic Range | habitation, dwelling place, temple abode, shepherds’ pasture, sheepfold, den, pleasant settlement |
| Conceptual Significance | נָוֶה often conveys more than mere shelter; it implies a fitting, secure, and sometimes beautiful resting place. It can refer to human homes, shepherds’ pastures, or the dwelling place of יהוה, underscoring themes of settlement, divine presence, and covenantal security. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine singular construct (נְוֵה) with prefixed preposition בִּ ("in"). The construct state indicates possession or association with a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נָוֶה denotes a dwelling or settled abode, often with the nuance of a pleasant or well-suited habitation. The prefixed בִּ indicates "in," and the feminine singular construct form (Ncbsc) requires the sense "of," linking it to a following genitive. "Dwelling-abode" preserves the root idea of a settled, fitting habitation while reflecting the singular construct form. |
