SIBI-P1 `H6607-12`

to the opening of

Root	פתח (p-t-ḥ)
Core Meanings	to open, opening, doorway, entrance, threshold
Semantic Range	physical doorway, gate, tent-flap entrance, threshold, entrance to a space, point of access, figurative opening or opportunity
Conceptual Significance	The "opening" or threshold often marks a liminal space in biblical narrative—where encounters occur, judgments are pronounced, or divine-human interactions take place. As the place of entry, it can symbolize access, vulnerability, or transition between outside and inside, common and sacred.
Morphological Notes	Preposition לְ (“to/for”) prefixed to a masculine singular noun in construct state (Ncmsc). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive, meaning “opening of …”.
Rendering Rationale	The noun פֶּתַח derives from the root פתח (“to open”) and denotes an opening or doorway. The morphology (masculine singular construct with prefixed לְ) requires a singular construct form, so "to the opening of" preserves both the root sense of an opened space and the grammatical relationship indicated by the construct state and preposition.
