SIBI-P1 H2267-03
binding-band
| Root | חבר (ḥ-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | to join, bind together, associate, unite, ally |
| Semantic Range | company, association, band, alliance, guild, spell, enchantment (as a binding utterance) |
| Conceptual Significance | The term reflects the Hebrew conception of unity as binding—whether social (a joined community or alliance) or ritual (a binding incantation). It underscores the power of joined association, whether in covenant solidarity or in illicit attempts to bind through enchantment. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state derived from the root חבר ("to join, unite"). Functions as a collective singular referring to a joined group or binding association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so it is rendered as a singular entity. "Binding-band" preserves the root idea of joining or binding together (חבר) while allowing for both social (a joined company) and magical (a binding spell) contexts reflected in the lexeme. |
