| Root | עד (ʿ-d) |
| Core Meanings | continuity, duration, boundary, up to, perpetuity |
| Semantic Range | through, behind, on behalf of, for the sake of, around, within, up to, as far as, in exchange for |
| Conceptual Significance | בְּעַד expresses movement or action that passes through a boundary or stands in representation for another. It often carries the idea of intercession or acting on behalf of someone, reinforcing biblical themes of mediation, protection, and covenantal representation. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (בְּ + עַד); inseparable prepositional prefix בְּ attached to the noun/prepositional base עַד. No gender, number, or person marking. |
| Rendering Rationale | בְּעַד is a prepositional form built on the root עד (“up to, as far as, continuing to”) with the prefixed בְּ (“in/through”). The rendering “through/behind up to” preserves the spatial and boundary-oriented sense of the root while reflecting its function here as a preposition (HR), without gender or number inflection. |
