SIBI-P1 H5403-01
a tearing eagle
| Root | נשר (n-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | to tear away, to pluck off, to strip, tearing bird of prey |
| Semantic Range | eagle, vulture, large raptor; figuratively swiftness, predatory power, destructive force. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical literature the eagle symbolizes strength, swiftness, and often judgment or imperial might. Its association with tearing underscores themes of divine judgment, conquest, or powerful deliverance. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular absolute (ANcmsa); functions as a singular, indefinite substantive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root נשר (n-š-r), "to tear away" or "to pluck," reflecting the rending action of a bird of prey. Rendering it as "a tearing eagle" preserves this root sense while accurately reflecting the masculine singular absolute form (ANcmsa). |
