SIBI-P1 H341-18
a hating one
| Root | איב (ʾ-y-b) |
| Core Meanings | enmity, hostility, hatred, active opposition |
| Semantic Range | enemy, foe, adversary, personal opponent, national enemy, one who harbors hatred |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, an אֹיֵב is not merely a political rival but one defined by active hostility toward another, often toward Israel or toward YHWH’s purposes. The participial form underscores enduring enmity rather than a momentary conflict. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, from the verb אָיַב ("to be hostile, to hate"). Functions substantivally to denote a person characterized by enmity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular absolute, describing one characterized by the action of hating. Rendering it as "a hating one" preserves the participial sense of ongoing hostility rooted in איב while reflecting the masculine singular form. |
