SIBI-P1 H4672-08
the one being found
| Root | מצא (m-ṣ-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | finding, encountering, attaining, discovering, being present |
| Semantic Range | to be found, to be present, to be available, to be discovered, to be encountered, to prove to be, to be situated |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, what "is found" often carries judicial or covenantal weight—what is discovered by YHWH, what is present before Him, or what is revealed in time. The Nifal form underscores states of being discovered or standing present, frequently in contexts of accountability, divine searching, or providential encounter. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) + Nifal participle masculine singular absolute of מצא. The Nifal stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense: "to be found," "to be present," or "to be encountered." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הַנִּמְצָא is a Nifal participle masculine singular with the definite article, indicating a passive or stative sense: "the one being found" or "the one present." The rendering preserves the passive nuance of the Nifal stem and the masculine singular definiteness conveyed by the morphology. |
