gathered assembly
| Root | קהל (q-h-l) |
| Core Meanings | to assemble, to gather together, to convene, gathered community |
| Semantic Range | assembly, congregation, gathered community, convoked body, company of people assembled for worship, governance, or warfare |
| Conceptual Significance | קָהָל denotes the covenant community assembled before יהוה, especially in contexts of worship, covenant renewal, or national decision. It highlights Israel not merely as a people, but as a gathered body summoned into corporate identity and responsibility. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun, absolute state (HNcmsa). Though grammatically singular, it often denotes a collective group functioning as a unified body. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the verb קהל, "to assemble" or "to gather." Rendering it as "gathered assembly" preserves the concrete sense of a community brought together, reflecting the masculine singular absolute form (a single collective body). |
