and he chopped off
| Root | קצץ (q-ṣ-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | cutting off, chopping, severing, reducing by cutting |
| Semantic Range | to cut off, chop down, sever, hew in pieces, trim away; figuratively to reduce or eliminate |
| Conceptual Significance | The act of cutting off in biblical literature can signify judgment, covenantal removal, destruction of idolatrous objects, or decisive separation. It often conveys forceful intervention, whether in warfare, reform, or divine judgment. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ + Piel imperfect 3ms (waw-consecutive) from קצץ; the doubled צ indicates the intensive Piel stem; subject is third person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קצץ conveys the act of cutting or chopping off, often with force or decisiveness. The form is waw-consecutive imperfect, 3rd masculine singular in the Piel stem, which here expresses an intensive or deliberate action; thus "and he chopped off" reflects both the intensified stem and the masculine singular subject. |
