SIBI-P1 H7339-09

broad-places

Rootרחב (r-ḥ-b)
Core Meaningsto be wide, broad, spacious; to enlarge, make room
Semantic Rangeopen square, plaza, wide street, public square, spacious place, broad expanse
Conceptual SignificanceIn ancient Israelite towns, the "broad-places" were central open areas near gates used for gathering, trade, and legal matters. The term can also symbolize relief and divine provision of space or freedom, as in contexts where YHWH "makes room" for His people.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine noun in the plural absolute form; from רְחֹב (singular). The plural ending ־וֹת marks feminine plural. Appears both as a common noun and as a place name (Rehoboth).
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root רחב, conveying width or spaciousness. In the feminine plural absolute form (HNcfpa), it denotes multiple open, widened areas—thus "broad-places," preserving both the root idea of breadth and the plural number indicated by the morphology.
