the evil ones
| Root | רעע (r-ʿ-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | badness, evil, harm, injury, adversity, moral wrong |
| Semantic Range | morally evil persons, harmful or wicked people, destructive forces, adverse circumstances, grievous or harmful things |
| Conceptual Significance | רע and its derivatives frame the biblical contrast between good (טוב) and evil (רע), marking moral corruption, covenantal unfaithfulness, and destructive opposition to YHWH’s purposes; "the evil ones" often represent those who act contrary to divine justice. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article הַ + adjective רָעִים; masculine plural absolute form used substantively ("the evil ones"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine plural adjective with the definite article, functioning substantivally. "The evil ones" preserves the plural number and definite force while reflecting the root רעע, which conveys badness or moral evil. |
