SIBI-P1 H7-05
they will cause to perish
| Root | אבד (ʾ-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | wandering away, perishing, destruction, being lost |
| Semantic Range | to perish, be lost, vanish, be destroyed; in causative contexts, to destroy, bring to ruin, cause to be lost |
| Conceptual Significance | This root often expresses the fate of those cut off from covenantal blessing—whether through judgment, exile, or divine decree. In its causative form it highlights human or divine agency in bringing about destruction, underscoring themes of accountability and the consequences of rebellion. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; imperfect (yiqtol) form; third person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אבד carries the sense of wandering away or perishing. In the Hiphil stem it takes a causative force, meaning "to cause to perish" or "to destroy." The morphology AVhi3mp indicates an Aramaic Hiphil imperfect, third person masculine plural, so the rendering "they will cause to perish" preserves both the causative nuance and the plural subject. |
