SIBI-P1 H2351-23

in the outside-place

Rootחוץ (ḥ-w-ṣ)
Core Meaningsseparation, exteriority, that which is outside, severed space
Semantic Rangeoutside, outdoors, open country, street, public space, beyond a boundary, external area as opposed to interior
Conceptual Significanceחוּץ marks the space beyond the protected or covenantal interior—outside the house, city, or sanctuary. It often signifies exposure, vulnerability, or separation from ordered community life, reinforcing biblical themes of boundary, holiness, and inclusion versus exclusion.
Morphological NotesPreposition בַ־ ("in the," with assimilated definite article) + noun חוּץ, masculine singular absolute. No pronominal suffix. Though plural forms are feminine, this occurrence is masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חוּץ derives from a root conveying separation or that which is severed off, thus denoting the exterior or outside. The prefixed בַ־ is the preposition "in" with the definite article, and the noun is masculine singular absolute, so "in the outside-place" preserves both the singular form and the sense of a distinct, separated exterior space.
