SIBI-P1 H1320-38
flesh
| Root | בשר (b-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | freshness, fleshiness, soft tissue, bodily substance, kinship |
| Semantic Range | physical flesh or meat; the human or animal body; living beings collectively (“all flesh”); kin or blood-relations; human frailty or mortality; bodily nakedness. |
| Conceptual Significance | בשר underscores human creatureliness and mortality in contrast to the רוח (spirit). It can denote both the physical body and humanity as a whole (“all flesh”), highlighting shared weakness, kinship bonds, and dependence on YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular absolute noun derived from the root בשר. No prefixes or suffixes; appears in its base lexical form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so the rendering preserves the singular sense as “flesh.” This reflects the root idea of fresh, living tissue and maintains the concrete bodily sense inherent in בשר. |
