SIBI-P1 H2026-21
they struck down dead
| Root | הרג (h-r-g) |
| Core Meanings | to strike down, to smite fatally, to kill, to slay |
| Semantic Range | to kill in battle, to murder, to execute, to slaughter animals, to cause death by violent action |
| Conceptual Significance | הרג often appears in contexts of warfare, judgment, and bloodguilt, underscoring the gravity of unlawful killing as well as divine or judicial execution. It highlights the seriousness of taking life within covenantal law and narratives of conflict. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person common plural: "they" completed the action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of the root הרג, which conveys striking with deadly intent. The perfect 3rd common plural form is reflected by "they," and "struck down dead" preserves the sense of an intentional, fatal blow inherent in the root rather than a generic term for death. |
