SIBI-P1 H5784-01

like chaff-husk

Rootעור (ʿ-w-r)
Core Meaningsbareness, nakedness, stripped husk, exposed outer layer
Semantic Rangechaff, husk, worthless refuse of grain, something light and easily scattered
Conceptual SignificanceChaff symbolizes what is weightless, transient, and without enduring substance, often contrasted with what is solid or righteous. Its imagery conveys judgment, separation, and the fleeting nature of the wicked or of human pride before divine action.
Morphological NotesAramaic noun, common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed preposition כְּ (“like”). Occurs once. No suffixes; singular form preserved in translation.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עוּר in Aramaic denotes chaff as the stripped, naked husk of grain, reflecting the root idea of bareness or exposed outer covering. The form is masculine singular absolute with the prefixed preposition כְּ (“like/as”), so the rendering preserves the singular sense: “like chaff-husk.”
