SIBI-P1 `H7626-21`

branch-staff

Root	שבט (š-b-ṭ)
Core Meanings	branching off, rod, staff, scepter, tribal division
Semantic Range	rod for striking or discipline, shepherd’s staff, ruler’s scepter, measuring stick, and figuratively a clan or tribe as a branch of a larger people.
Conceptual Significance	שֵׁבֶט links physical authority (the rod or scepter) with social structure (the tribe as a branch of Israel). It conveys both governance and lineage, portraying each tribe as an offshoot of the covenant family and emphasizing ordered authority within the community.
Morphological Notes	Common masculine singular noun (absolute or construct state in the cited forms). No pronominal suffix; number and gender are singular masculine.
Rendering Rationale	The noun שֵׁבֶט is a masculine singular form (absolute or construct), so the rendering reflects a singular concrete object. "Branch-staff" preserves the probable root idea of something that branches off (a shoot or offshoot) and its physical expression as a rod or staff, from which the figurative sense of a tribal branch develops.
