SIBI-P1 H7725-155
and he turned back
| Root | שׁוּב (sh-w-b) |
| Core Meanings | turning back, returning, reversing direction, restoring, going back |
| Semantic Range | to turn back, return, go back, restore, bring back, repent, reverse, withdraw, do again |
| Conceptual Significance | שׁוּב is a central covenantal term, often describing physical return, restoration from exile, or spiritual turning (repentance) back to יהוה. It expresses both literal movement and relational renewal, making it foundational to biblical themes of repentance and restoration. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ plus Qal perfect 3ms with waw-consecutive (Vqq3ms), functioning as a narrative preterite: "and he turned/returned." Masculine singular subject; simple active stem. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שׁוּב centers on the idea of turning or returning. The Qal stem expresses a simple active action, and the waw-consecutive with 3rd masculine singular form indicates sequential narrative action, hence "and he turned back," preserving both the core sense of reversal and the masculine singular subject. |
