SIBI-P1 H4125-04
women of Moab
| Root | מואב (môʾ-ʾ-b) |
| Core Meanings | Moab, progeny of Moab, people of Moab |
| Semantic Range | female inhabitants of Moab, daughters of Moab, women belonging to the Moabite people |
| Conceptual Significance | The women of Moab figure prominently in narratives concerning intermarriage, covenant faithfulness, and Israel’s relationship with surrounding nations (e.g., Ruth the Moabitess). They embody both the tension and the possibility of incorporation of foreigners into Israel’s redemptive history. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural absolute gentilic noun from מוֹאָבִי (Moabite), derived from the proper noun מוֹאָב (Moab). Used substantivally to denote female Moabites. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a feminine plural gentilic (HNgfpa), denoting female members of the people descended from Moab. "Women of Moab" preserves both the root connection to the land/ancestor Moab and the explicitly feminine plural morphology of the Hebrew form. |
