continuance
| Root | תמד (t-m-d) |
| Core Meanings | stretching, extending, continuance, perpetuity, regularity |
| Semantic Range | continuance, regularity, constancy, perpetuity; by extension: continually, always; specifically the regular or daily offering (the "continual" offering). |
| Conceptual Significance | תָּמִיד expresses the biblical concept of sustained faithfulness and regular devotion, especially in reference to the daily offerings and the ongoing presence of YHWH. It underscores the importance of uninterrupted covenantal practice and perpetual remembrance before Elohim. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). Though frequently used adverbially in context, its form is a singular noun meaning an ongoing state or condition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תָּמִיד is a masculine singular absolute form denoting the state or quality of ongoing extension. Rendering it as "continuance" preserves the core sense of sustained duration from the root idea of stretching or extending, while accurately reflecting its singular nominal form rather than an adverbial gloss like "continually." |
