and a rebelling one
| Root | מרה (m-r-h) |
| Core Meanings | bitterness, rebelliousness, resistance, provocation |
| Semantic Range | to be bitter, to be rebellious, to resist authority, to provoke, to act stubbornly or defiantly |
| Conceptual Significance | מרה often describes covenantal defiance against יהוה, portraying rebellion not merely as disobedience but as embittered resistance. It frames sin as relational rupture—an active stance of provocation against divine authority. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ prefixed to a Qal active participle masculine singular absolute (מוֹרֶה) from מרה. The participle functions adjectivally or substantivally to describe a male individual characterized by rebellion. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular from מרה, meaning "to be rebellious" or "to resist." Rendering it as "a rebelling one" preserves the verbal force of the participle and reflects its masculine singular form, while maintaining the root sense of active resistance or bitterness. |
