SIBI-P1 H7628-09
captivity
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun (common gender feminine), appearing in absolute and construct states. Though singular in form, it often functions collectively to denote a body of captives or the state of exile. Derived from the verbal root שבה in the Qal stem (“to take captive”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שְׁבִי is a feminine singular form derived from the root שבה (“to take captive”). Rendering it as “captivity” preserves the core idea of being seized and carried away while accurately reflecting the feminine singular abstract/collective noun form found in the morphology (Ncbsa/Ncbsc). |
