SIBI-P1 H5707-01

a witness

Rootעוד (ʿ-w-d)
Core Meaningsto bear witness, testify, affirm, repeat, give solemn warning
Semantic Rangewitness (legal or covenantal), one who testifies, testimony (by extension), accuser, recorder or official observer
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, a עֵד functions within legal, covenantal, and prophetic settings as one who confirms truth. The concept underscores communal accountability, covenant faithfulness, and the establishment of truth through verified testimony, whether human or invoked of God Himself.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute (HNcmsa) and construct (HNcmsc) states. No pronominal suffixes in the listed forms.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root עוד, which conveys the act of bearing witness or giving testimony. The form עֵד is a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct), so the rendering "a witness" preserves both the singular number and the personal sense of one who testifies.
