SIBI-P1 H7339-02

in the broad-places

Rootרחב (r-ḥ-b)
Core Meaningsbreadth, width, spaciousness, enlargement, openness
Semantic Rangebroad place, open square, plaza, public square, wide street, open area within a settlement
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical settings, the רְחֹב was a central open space for gathering, commerce, proclamation, and judgment. Its association with breadth reflects the root idea of spaciousness, often symbolizing openness, public life, or the social heart of a community.
Morphological NotesPreposition ב + definite article (assimilated) + noun common feminine plural absolute of רְחֹב.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רְחֹב derives from the root רחב, conveying breadth or spaciousness. The form is feminine plural absolute with the prefixed preposition and definite article ("in the"), so "in the broad-places" preserves both the plural number and the root sense of wide, open areas within a city.
