in the coarse-woven sackcloths
| Root | שׁקק (š-q-q) |
| Core Meanings | to run through, pour out, form a mesh, coarse weaving |
| Semantic Range | sackcloth worn in mourning, coarse garment of repentance or humiliation, grain sack or storage bag, rough woven cloth |
| Conceptual Significance | Sackcloth symbolizes mourning, repentance, humiliation, and distress in biblical culture. Wearing or being clothed in sackcloth expresses outward grief and inward contrition before God or in response to calamity. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ with assimilated definite article (בַּ) + noun שַׂק, masculine plural absolute (Ncmpa). No suffix; definite by virtue of the prefixed article. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׂק denotes a coarse, mesh-like cloth used for mourning or bagging, reflecting the root idea of loosely woven material through which liquid can run. The form is masculine plural absolute with a prefixed בַּ ("in the"), so the rendering preserves both the plural number ("sackcloths") and the definite prepositional sense ("in the"). |
