in the overflowing flood
| Root | שטף (š-ṭ-p) |
| Core Meanings | to overflow, to inundate, to wash away, to surge, to overwhelm |
| Semantic Range | literal flood or deluge; torrential rain; overwhelming force; figurative surge such as wrath, destruction, or calamity |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used to depict overwhelming judgment or irresistible force, שֶׁטֶף evokes imagery of divine power that sweeps away opposition, underscoring themes of judgment, purification, and the frailty of human resistance before YHWH’s might. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state (Ncmsa) with prefixed preposition בַּ (beth + definite article), meaning "in the" or "with the." Occurs once in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֶׁטֶף derives from the root שטף, conveying the idea of surging or overflowing force. The form is masculine singular absolute with the prefixed preposition בַּ ("in the"), reflecting the definite article; thus "in the overflowing flood" preserves both the root sense of inundation and the grammatical definiteness and number. |
