the harmful one
| Root | רעע (r-ʿ-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | badness, evil, harm, injury, adversity, moral wrong |
| Semantic Range | moral evil, wicked person, harmful act, adversity, calamity, misfortune, distress, that which is bad in quality or character |
| Conceptual Significance | רע expresses both moral corruption and experiential calamity in the Hebrew Bible, linking ethical evil with its harmful consequences. It frames suffering and wrongdoing within YHWH’s moral order, where "the harmful one" may denote either a wicked individual or the embodiment of adversity opposed to covenantal good. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־), used substantivally. From the root רעע, functioning as a noun meaning "evil" or "bad thing/person." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular adjective with the definite article, functioning substantivally. "The harmful one" preserves the root sense of רעע (to be bad or harmful) while reflecting the definite, masculine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
