Semantic domains 3 entries
- Clouds001002005004
- This entry carries no independent cloud sense of its own; every tagged occurrence is the noun for a portico or covered gallery, as in “Then he made the hall of pillars; its length was fifty cubits and its width thirty cubits, and a portico was in front of them” (1 Kings 7:6). The “Clouds” domain is bundle-shared with the related lexeme עָב (ʻâb, H5645) rather than independently attested here.
- Buildings001003002001
- סַף here denotes a threshold, a structural architectural feature of a building's entryway, illustrated at 1 Kings 7:6 ("a porch was in front of them and pillars and a threshold in front of them") and Ezekiel 41:25-26 ("there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch"), each describing a load-bearing wooden entry-beam of a temple or hall structure.
- Plants001002007001
- This entry's own tagged occurrences do reference the carved palm-tree ornamentation on this portico, as in “Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the main room, cherubim and palm trees” (Ezekiel 41:25), so the “Plants” domain reflects that decorative motif rather than the portico itself.
