you will cut off

Rootבצר (b-ṣ-r)
Core Meaningscutting off, clipping, harvesting (grapes), fortifying, making inaccessible, withholding
Semantic Rangeto cut off, to harvest grapes, to fortify or make inaccessible, to withhold, to isolate, to make strong or secure
Conceptual SignificanceThe root בצר links agricultural imagery (harvesting grapes) with military and social imagery (fortifying cities, cutting off access). It reflects a cultural world where separation—whether of fruit from vine or city from enemy—signals both provision and protection.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem (simple active), imperfect conjugation, 2nd person masculine singular. The imperfect may express future, habitual, or modal nuance depending on context.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal imperfect 2nd masculine singular form תִבְצֹר indicates a simple active action performed by a single male addressee: "you will…" The rendering "cut off" preserves the root sense of בצר as clipping or separating, from which the ideas of grape-harvesting and fortifying (cutting off access) naturally extend.
