SIBI-P1 H1855-02
they were crushed fine
| Root | דקק (d-q-q) |
| Core Meanings | crushing, pulverizing, grinding small, making thin |
| Semantic Range | to crumble, pulverize, grind to powder, break into pieces, make thin or fine |
| Conceptual Significance | This term often appears in contexts of judgment or decisive destruction, portraying the thoroughness of divine or imperial action in reducing something to nothing—an image of total defeat and humbling. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Hophal (causative passive) perfect, 3rd person masculine plural. Indicates a completed action in which a masculine plural subject was acted upon and reduced by crushing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root דקק conveys the idea of crushing or grinding something into small pieces or powder. The Hophal perfect 3rd masculine plural form expresses a completed passive causative action, hence "they were crushed fine," preserving both the passive sense and the plural masculine subject. |
