SIBI-P1 H7794-03
like a bull
| Root | שור (sh-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | to look, behold, range about; strong animal, bull |
| Semantic Range | bull, ox, bullock; symbol of strength or virility; occasionally confused with שׁוּר ("wall") in some textual traditions |
| Conceptual Significance | The bull in biblical literature symbolizes strength, power, and at times stubborn force. It is also a significant sacrificial animal, representing wealth and vitality in Israelite agrarian and cultic life. |
| Morphological Notes | Prefixed preposition כְּ ("like/as") + noun common masculine singular absolute (שׁוֹר). No pronominal suffix; singular masculine form maintained. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שׁוֹר is a masculine singular absolute meaning "bull." The prefixed preposition כְּ adds the comparative sense "like/as," yielding "like a bull," preserving both the singular masculine form and the concrete imagery of the Hebrew term. |
