SIBI-P1 H5221-05
shall I strike down?
| Root | נכה (n-k-h) |
| Core Meanings | striking, smiting, inflicting blows, wounding, striking down |
| Semantic Range | to strike, smite, beat, wound, afflict, punish, kill, defeat in battle, bring under judgment |
| Conceptual Significance | נכה frequently describes divine or judicial striking—acts of judgment, discipline, or deliverance through defeat of enemies. It underscores the authority of the striker, often יהוה, to wound, judge, or overthrow in covenantal context. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect 1st common singular of נכה, with prefixed interrogative הַ; the Hiphil stem gives an active/causative force, "I cause to be struck" → "I strike (down)." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נכה conveys the act of striking or smiting, often with force or fatal effect. This form is Hiphil imperfect 1st common singular, expressing first-person action with potential or future sense, here likely interrogative; "shall I strike down?" preserves both the causative-active stem nuance and the first-person singular subject. |
