outstretched arm
| Root | זרע (z-r-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | to sow, scatter seed, disperse, spread out |
| Semantic Range | arm (human limb), foreleg (of animals), strength, power, might, help, military force |
| Conceptual Significance | The "outstretched arm" becomes a central biblical metaphor for YHWH’s saving power, especially in the Exodus tradition, where His "outstretched arm" signifies active, forceful intervention in history. It embodies both physical might and covenantal deliverance. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun (common gender in form), appearing in both absolute (HNcbsa) and construct (HNcbsc) states. No pronominal suffix in the given forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | זְרוֹעַ is a feminine singular noun (absolute or construct) derived from the root זרע, whose core idea is spreading or scattering. The "arm" is understood as that which is stretched or extended outward, so "outstretched arm" preserves both the physical image and the root sense of extension while reflecting the singular feminine form. |
