SIBI-P1 H3871-02
polished tablet
| Root | לוח (l-w-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to glisten, shine, polish, smooth surface |
| Semantic Range | tablet, slab, board, plate; especially a flat, smoothed surface of stone, wood, or metal prepared for writing or inscription |
| Conceptual Significance | Most prominently used of the stone tablets of the covenant (e.g., the tablets of the testimony), ל֫וּחַ carries covenantal and revelatory significance, representing the tangible, inscribed embodiment of divine instruction given to Israel. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute (cmsa) and construct (cmsc) states. No pronominal suffixes in the listed forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ל֫וּחַ derives from a root associated with shining or polishing, referring to a smooth, glistening surface. Rendering it as "polished tablet" preserves this underlying sense of a smoothed, prepared slab. The morphology (HNcmsa/HNcmsc) indicates a masculine singular noun in absolute or construct form, which is reflected by the singular English rendering. |
