SIBI-P1 H5116-03
to the pasture-dwelling of
| Root | נוה (n-w-h) |
| Core Meanings | dwelling, abiding, pasture, habitation, pleasant abode |
| Semantic Range | dwelling place, habitation, pasture land, sheepfold, den, temple abode, pleasant or settled habitation |
| Conceptual Significance | נָוֶה evokes the idea of a settled, secure abode—whether for flocks, people, wild animals, or even YHWH’s sanctuary. It conveys not merely a structure but a place of settled rest, sustenance, and belonging within covenantal and pastoral imagery. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ (to/for) + noun נָוֶה in singular construct (Ncbsc). The construct state requires a following genitive complement ("of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לִנְוֵה consists of the preposition לְ ("to/for") attached to the singular construct form of נָוֶה ("dwelling, pasture-abode"). Rendering it "to the pasture-dwelling of" preserves the root sense of habitation or settled abode while reflecting the construct state ("of") and singular form indicated by the morphology. |
