and fixed statute
| Root | חקק (ḥ-q-q) |
| Core Meanings | to cut in, inscribe, engrave, decree, prescribe, fix |
| Semantic Range | statute, decree, prescribed portion, fixed boundary, appointed time, ordinance, due share |
| Conceptual Significance | חֹק emphasizes what is permanently established—whether divine decrees, allotted portions, or fixed boundaries. In biblical theology it often underscores YHWH’s sovereign authority in setting enduring laws and appointed portions for individuals and nations. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to a masculine singular noun (חֹק). Occurs in both absolute (Ncmsa) and construct (Ncmsc) states; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹק derives from the root חקק, "to inscribe" or "engrave," conveying something firmly fixed or prescribed. "Fixed statute" preserves this sense of something permanently set in place, while "and" reflects the prefixed conjunction וְ. The form is masculine singular, appearing in both absolute and construct states, which the singular English rendering maintains. |
