Rootעץ (ʿ-ṣ)
Core Meaningsfirmness, solidity, wood, tree
Semantic RangeTrees (living plants), wood as material, timber, planks, wooden objects, gallows or wooden structures, implements made of wood.
Conceptual SignificanceTrees and wood are foundational in biblical life—used for building, fuel, tools, and cultic objects. Trees also serve as symbols of life, stability, blessing, or judgment, reflecting the root idea of firmness and enduring structure within creation.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun (absolute state) from עֵץ (H6086). No pronominal suffix; plural ending -ים indicates masculine plural.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֵצִים is the masculine plural absolute form of עֵץ, denoting multiple individual trees. Rendering it as "trees" preserves both the concrete sense of upright, firm growth inherent in the root and the clearly marked masculine plural morphology.
