SIBI-P1 H1755-04
generation-cycle
| Root | דור (d-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | to turn, revolve, circle, cycle, dwell |
| Semantic Range | generation, age, lifetime, period, epoch, posterity, ongoing succession, sometimes perpetuity ("from generation to generation") |
| Conceptual Significance | דּוֹר frames human history as a succession of turning cycles, emphasizing continuity and transmission—of covenant, memory, and identity—from one generation-cycle to the next within Israel’s story. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no article or pronominal suffix attached. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דּוֹר is masculine singular absolute, so the rendering is singular with no possessive or definite marker. "Generation-cycle" preserves the root idea of a turning or revolving period of time, rather than simply an age group, highlighting the cyclical sense embedded in the root דור. |
