SIBI-P1 H5055-05
he gores
| Root | נגח (n-g-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | horn-butting, goring, forceful thrusting, violent pushing, warring aggression |
| Semantic Range | to gore with horns, to butt, to thrust violently, to push down, to strike; figuratively to wage war against or to attack forcefully |
| Conceptual Significance | Used in legal contexts (e.g., laws of an ox that gores), the verb highlights responsibility and consequences for violent force. Figuratively, it depicts nations or powers aggressively "pushing" or warring against others, conveying unchecked strength or hostility. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from נָגַח. The Qal stem expresses the simple active action of butting or goring; the imperfect denotes incomplete, habitual, or future action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple active action performed by a masculine singular subject: "he gores" or "he will gore." The rendering preserves the concrete root image of horn-thrusting while accurately reflecting the third masculine singular form. |
