and broad-of
| Root | רחב (r-ḥ-b) |
| Core Meanings | width, breadth, spaciousness, enlargement, expansiveness, freedom |
| Semantic Range | broad, wide, spacious, expansive, roomy, open, extended (literally of land, spaces, or objects; figuratively of heart, freedom, or influence) |
| Conceptual Significance | The root רחב often conveys the idea of spaciousness as blessing—relief from constraint, enlargement of territory, or freedom from distress. In biblical theology, "broadness" can symbolize divine deliverance into a spacious place, contrasting with narrowness or oppression. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") + adjective masculine singular construct from רָחָב (rāḥāḇ). The construct state links the adjective to a following noun, forming a descriptive chain. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective רְחַב is masculine singular construct, meaning "broad" or "wide" in a state of relation to a following noun. Rendering it as "broad-of" preserves both the root idea of breadth/expansiveness (רחב) and the construct form, indicating that it modifies what follows. The prefixed וּ is reflected by "and." |
