SIBI-P1 H927-01
in her self-alarming haste
| Root | בהל (b-h-l) |
| Core Meanings | terror, alarm, sudden agitation, hurried disturbance |
| Semantic Range | to be terrified, to be alarmed, to hasten in agitation, to act in panic, to be disturbed or troubled |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical narrative, this root often conveys more than mere speed—it reflects inner turmoil that drives outward haste. It highlights the psychological dimension of events, where fear or alarm compels urgent action, underscoring the contrast between anxious reaction and composed trust. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Hitpeel (reflexive) stem, perfect 3rd feminine singular, preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in"). The reflexive stem conveys entering into a state of agitation or panic. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הִתְבְּהָלָה is an Aramaic Hitpeel perfect 3rd feminine singular from בהל, expressing reflexive action—"she alarmed herself" or "she became agitated." With the prefixed בְּ ("in"), the phrase denotes action carried out in a state of self-induced alarm or panic. The rendering preserves the reflexive stem and feminine singular sense while retaining the root idea of alarm-driven haste. |
