SIBI-P1 H7628-01
in the captivity
| Root | שבה (sh-b-h) |
| Core Meanings | to take captive, to seize, to carry away, to lead into captivity |
| Semantic Range | captivity, exile, state of being taken captive, the body of captives, deportation, sometimes collectively the exiled community |
| Conceptual Significance | Captivity represents covenantal judgment and national humiliation in the Hebrew Bible, especially in contexts of Assyrian and Babylonian exile. It signifies both the consequence of unfaithfulness and the hope of eventual restoration from exile. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") with assimilated definite article הַ־, attached to a common singular absolute noun (Ncbsa). The form is singular and definite: "in the captivity." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שְׁבִי derives from the root שבה, "to take captive," and denotes the state or condition resulting from being seized and carried away. The prefixed בַּ־ ("in the," preposition + definite article) and singular absolute form require the rendering "in the captivity," preserving both the definite article and singular sense. |
