SIBI-P1 H8415-02
surging deep
| Root | הום (h-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | to roar, murmur, surge, be in tumult, make a loud sound |
| Semantic Range | abyss, deep sea, primeval ocean, subterranean waters, watery depths, cosmic deep |
| Conceptual Significance | תְּהוֹם evokes the primordial waters present at creation (Genesis 1:2) and symbolizes both chaos and the vast, untamed forces of the created order. It represents the boundary between ordered creation and the surging, unformed depths over which Elohim exercises sovereign control. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun, common, absolute state (HNcbsa). Though grammatically feminine, it often functions as a collective or cosmic singular referring to the primeval or subterranean waters. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תְּהוֹם derives from the root הום, conveying roaring or surging motion. Rendering it as "surging deep" preserves the imagery of tumultuous, roaring waters inherent in the root while reflecting the feminine singular absolute form (a single, undetermined deep or abyss). |
