SIBI-P1 H4804-01
they plucked off
| Root | מרט (m-r-ṭ) |
| Core Meanings | to pull out, pluck off, strip away, make bare |
| Semantic Range | to pluck out hair, to pull off coverings, to strip away, to make bald or bare, to remove forcibly |
| Conceptual Significance | The root often appears in contexts of humiliation, judgment, or grief, where hair or coverings are forcibly removed. It conveys vivid imagery of stripping and exposure, underscoring themes of shame, loss, or divine judgment in biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Peal (Qal) stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine plural. The form reflects a completed action carried out by multiple male subjects. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מרט conveys the action of pulling out or stripping away. The form מְּרִיטוּ is Aramaic Peal (Qal) perfect, third masculine plural, indicating a completed action performed by masculine plural subjects; thus "they plucked off" preserves both the active force of the stem and the plural masculine subject. |
