I have cut

Rootכרת (k-r-t)
Core Meaningscutting, severing, cutting off, making a covenant by cutting
Semantic Rangeto cut, cut down, cut off, sever, destroy, eliminate; to cut a covenant (enter into a binding agreement); to remove or exterminate
Conceptual SignificanceThis root is central to covenant theology in the Hebrew Bible, as covenants are "cut" (כרת ברית), reflecting the ancient Near Eastern ritual of cutting sacrificial animals. It also carries judicial and covenantal weight in expressions of being "cut off" from the community, signifying judgment or exclusion.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 1st common singular. Denotes completed action by the speaker. No pronominal suffix attached.
Rendering RationaleThe form is Qal perfect 1st common singular, indicating a completed action performed by the speaker: "I have cut." The rendering preserves the root idea of cutting or severing, which underlies both literal cutting and the idiomatic act of covenant-making in Hebrew.
