and bad

Rootרעע (r-ʿ-ʿ)
Core Meaningsbadness, evil, harm, injury, adversity, brokenness
Semantic Rangeevil (moral), harmful, injurious, unpleasant, distressing, adverse, calamitous, wicked (of persons), troubling (of events or circumstances).
Conceptual Significanceרַע encompasses both moral evil and experiential adversity in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting a worldview in which harmful actions, moral corruption, and painful circumstances are interconnected aspects of what is contrary to what is good (טוֹב). It can describe ethical wrongdoing, destructive behavior, or divinely permitted calamity.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ/וָ attached to masculine singular absolute adjective רַע. Functions adjectivally or substantivally depending on context.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective רַע derives from the root רעע, expressing the idea of badness or harmfulness. The morphology (conjunction + masculine singular absolute adjective) is reflected in the simple singular form "bad" with the prefixed "and" preserving the waw conjunction.
