SIBI-P1 H6647-01
he will be dipped
| Root | צבע (ts-b-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | dipping, dyeing, staining, wetting, coloring |
| Semantic Range | to be dipped, be wetted, be drenched, be stained, be dyed, be saturated (especially with liquid such as water or dew) |
| Conceptual Significance | In its biblical usage (notably in Daniel), the term evokes complete exposure and humbling through being drenched, emphasizing vulnerability and the loss of royal status. The imagery of being "dipped" or saturated underscores total immersion in divinely appointed circumstances. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Ithpeel (reflexive/passive) stem; imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd person masculine singular. The stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense: to be dipped, be wetted, be stained. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic root צבע denotes dipping or wetting, often with the sense of being dyed or saturated. The form יִצְטַבַּע is an imperfect 3rd masculine singular in the reflexive/passive (Ithpeel) stem, so "he will be dipped" preserves both the core imagery of immersion and the masculine singular verbal morphology. |
