SIBI-P1 H3381-11
the descending one (feminine)
| Root | ירד (y-r-d) |
| Core Meanings | to descend, go down, sink, fall, bring down |
| Semantic Range | descending physically (from a height, into a valley, toward the sea), going down in status or position, moving toward a lower region, figuratively declining or falling |
| Conceptual Significance | The root ירד often marks movement from higher to lower space, which in biblical thought can signify humility, judgment, mortality, or transition. As a participle, it can depict ongoing descent, highlighting process rather than a completed act. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, participle, feminine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַיֹּרֶדֶת). The participle expresses continuous or characteristic action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal participle feminine singular with the definite article, literally "the descending." Rendering it as "the descending one (feminine)" preserves the ongoing, active sense of the participle from the root ירד (to go down) and reflects the feminine singular grammatical form indicated in the morphology. |
