SIBI-P1 H5530-05

and the senseless one

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") + definite article הַ ("the") + noun סָכָל, masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa).
Rendering RationaleThe root סכל conveys dullness of mind and moral senselessness rather than mere ignorance. "Senseless one" preserves this core idea of lacking sound judgment. The morphology (conjunction + definite article + masculine singular noun, absolute) is reflected in "and the" and in the singular masculine sense of "one."
