SIBI-P1 H5916-04
one who roils (a troubler)
| Root | עכר (ʿ-ḵ-r) |
| Core Meanings | to roil, to muddy, to disturb, to trouble, to throw into disorder |
| Semantic Range | to stir or muddy water; to disturb peace; to bring trouble upon a person or community; to cause calamity or social disruption |
| Conceptual Significance | Used of individuals who disrupt covenant order (e.g., Achan as "the troubler of Israel"), the term conveys not mere annoyance but the serious act of throwing the community into moral and relational turmoil, as roiled water becomes unusable and opaque. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute (עוֹכֵר / עֹכֵר). Functions substantivally to describe a man characterized by causing disturbance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular absolute, denoting a single male agent characterized by the action. "One who roils" preserves the concrete root image of stirring up water into murkiness, while "a troubler" reflects its figurative extension to causing social or covenantal disturbance. |
