| Root | נגף (n-g-p̄) |
| Core Meanings | to strike, smite, push down, gore, defeat, inflict injury |
| Semantic Range | to strike physically, smite in battle, defeat an enemy, inflict a plague or disease, cause to stumble or fall |
| Conceptual Significance | The root נגף is frequently associated with divine judgment or military defeat, often describing YHWH striking enemies or bringing plague. As a participle, it can portray an active agent of judgment or destruction, highlighting the immediacy and ongoing force of the action. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular, absolute. Functions substantivally to denote an agent performing the action of striking or smiting. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form נֹגֵף is a Qal active participle masculine singular, denoting "one who is striking" or "one striking."
