SIBI-P1 H4753-02
bitter-resin
| Root | מרר (m-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | bitterness, to be bitter, to make bitter |
| Semantic Range | myrrh (aromatic resin), bitter resin, perfumed extract used in anointing oil, incense, embalming, and luxury perfumes |
| Conceptual Significance | Myrrh was a costly aromatic resin associated with anointing, priestly oil, royal luxury, love poetry, and burial preparation. Its derivation from the root "to be bitter" highlights the sensory sharpness of the substance, often juxtaposing bitterness with beauty, devotion, or sacrificial themes in the biblical text. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no article or pronominal suffix; from the verbal root מרר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מֹר is derived from the root מרר (m-r-r), "to be bitter." Rendering it as "bitter-resin" preserves the core sense of bitterness embedded in the root while identifying it as a resinous substance. The form is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so the translation is a singular noun without possessive or plural marking. |
