and you shall pardon
| Root | סלח (s-l-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | forgiveness, pardon, sparing, release from guilt |
| Semantic Range | to forgive, to pardon, to spare from punishment, to release from guilt or obligation |
| Conceptual Significance | סלח is used predominantly of divine forgiveness in the Hebrew Bible, emphasizing YHWH’s authority to release guilt and restore relationship. It underscores covenant mercy and the gracious removal of sin’s consequences. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + Qal perfect 2ms of סלח; often a vav-consecutive form expressing future or sequential action directed to a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root סלח denotes the act of granting pardon or releasing from guilt. The form is Qal perfect 2nd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction ו, commonly functioning as a sequential (vav-consecutive) future, hence "and you shall pardon," preserving both the root sense of pardon and the masculine singular "you." |
