SIBI-P1 H5637-02
a turning-aside rebel (masculine singular)
| Root | סרר (s-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | turning aside, stubbornness, rebellion, refractoriness, defiance |
| Semantic Range | stubborn, rebellious, defiant, backsliding, refractory, one who turns away from authority or covenant obligation |
| Conceptual Significance | סוֹרֵר often describes covenantal defiance, especially of a son against parents or of Israel against YHWH. It highlights willful deviation from ordained authority and the relational breach that results from persistent turning away. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute (סוֹרֵר), functioning adjectivally or substantivally to describe a man characterized by stubborn rebellion. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular absolute, describing one characterized by the action of the root. "Turning-aside" preserves the core idea of deviating or withdrawing from the proper path, while "rebel" conveys the moral and relational defiance inherent in סרר. The masculine singular is reflected by the singular noun "rebel." |
