SIBI-P1 H4886-23
and an anointed-one
| Root | משח (m-š-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to smear, to rub with oil, to anoint, to consecrate, to set apart by anointing |
| Semantic Range | to smear or rub with oil; to anoint for ritual or royal purposes; to consecrate or set apart for sacred office; by extension, to designate or appoint |
| Conceptual Significance | Anointing with oil marked kings, priests, and sometimes prophets as set apart for YHWH’s service. The term underlies the concept of the "Anointed One" (Messiah), expressing divine selection and consecration through the symbolic act of anointing. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") + Qal passive participle masculine singular absolute of משח. The participle functions substantivally, describing a male individual who has been anointed. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal passive participle masculine singular absolute from משח, meaning "one who has been anointed." The conjunction וּ adds "and," so "and an anointed-one" preserves both the passive sense (one who has been smeared/anointed) and the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
