Zur (“Rock,” masculine singular proper name)
| Root | צור (ṣ-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | rock, cliff, firmness, compression, strength, refuge |
| Semantic Range | rock, cliff, boulder, rocky stronghold, refuge, strength; as a proper name, borne by a male individual |
| Conceptual Significance | The root צור is frequently used metaphorically of YHWH as Israel’s Rock—its firm foundation and refuge. As a personal name, Zur (“Rock”) reflects cultural associations of strength, stability, and protective might. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name), from the noun צוּר meaning “rock, cliff.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), referring to an individual whose name derives from the root צור, meaning “rock” or “cliff,” conveying firmness and strength. Rendering it as “Zur (‘Rock’)” preserves both its function as a personal name and its underlying root meaning. |
