and instruction-of
| Root | ירה (y-r-h) |
| Core Meanings | to throw, to shoot, to point out, to direct, to instruct |
| Semantic Range | instruction, direction, teaching, legal instruction, covenantal law, body of revealed guidance (including the Pentateuch) |
| Conceptual Significance | תּוֹרָה signifies divinely given instruction that directs covenant life. It conveys not merely legislation but authoritative guidance from YHWH, shaping Israel’s worship, ethics, and communal identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + noun common feminine singular construct (Ncfsc) from תּוֹרָה; construct form indicates a genitival relationship with a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תּוֹרַת is the feminine singular construct form of תּוֹרָה, derived from יָרָה (“to point out, direct, instruct”). Rendering it as “instruction-of” preserves the construct state (showing possession or relationship) and reflects the core idea of directed guidance rather than abstract law. The prefixed וְ is represented by “and.” |
