SIBI-P1 H8451-13

instruction

Rootירה (y-r-h)
Core Meaningsto throw, shoot, point, direct, instruct, teach
Semantic Rangeinstruction, direction, teaching, legal instruction, covenantal stipulation, body of teaching (including the Pentateuch)
Conceptual Significanceתּוֹרָה represents YHWH’s revealed guidance—His directed instruction to Israel for covenant life. It encompasses specific commands, priestly rulings, and the broader body of divine teaching that shapes communal identity and faithful obedience.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix; from the verbal root ירה in the Hiphil sense "to instruct."
Rendering Rationaleתּוֹרָה derives from the root ירה (y-r-h), "to point out" or "to instruct," conveying the idea of directed guidance. As a feminine singular absolute noun (HNcfsa), it is best rendered "instruction," preserving the singular form and emphasizing the root sense of guided teaching rather than the abstract legal sense of "law."
