you will cut off
| Root | בצר (b-ṣ-r) |
| Core Meanings | cutting off, clipping, harvesting (grapes), fortifying, making inaccessible, withholding |
| Semantic Range | to cut off, to harvest grapes, to fortify or make inaccessible, to withhold, to isolate, to make strong or secure |
| Conceptual Significance | The 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 Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), imperfect conjugation, 2nd person masculine singular. The imperfect may express future, habitual, or modal nuance depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
