It implies the act of setting apart or identifying something for a specific purpose or recognition. Context: The Hebrew verb סָמַן (sāman) is a primitive root that conveys the action of marking or designating. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but its conceptual significance is notable in the context of setting apart or identifying objects, places, or people with a specific sign or symbol. The act of marking is often associated with divine or authoritative designation, indicating a special status or purpose. In the ancient Near Eastern context, marking or designating with a sign was a common practice for establishing ownership, covenant, or consecration. The use of סָמַן (sāman) reflects the importance of visual symbols in communication and religious practices, serving as a tangible reminder of a spiritual or communal truth.
