SIBI-P1 H1310-01
you (masculine plural) have thoroughly boiled / they have boiled
| Root | בשל (b-š-l) |
| Core Meanings | boiling, cooking, ripening, reaching readiness |
| Semantic Range | to boil, cook, seethe, roast; to bring to readiness by heat; figuratively to ripen or come to maturity |
| Conceptual Significance | בשׁל often marks the transition from raw to ready—whether food prepared for eating or produce ripened for harvest—symbolizing completion, maturity, and preparedness within covenantal and daily life contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from בשל. Two occurrences are Piel perfect 2nd person masculine plural (intensive/active: "you have boiled thoroughly"); one is Qal perfect 3rd person common plural (simple active: "they have boiled" or "they were cooked"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root בשל conveys the process of boiling or bringing something to readiness by heat. The Piel perfect 2mp forms express an intensive or factitive action performed by "you" (masculine plural), hence "you have thoroughly boiled," while the Qal perfect 3cp form simply states "they have boiled." The rendering preserves both the root sense of cooking to completion and the grammatical distinctions of person and number. |
