SIBI-P1 H898-06

in his acting-faithlessly against him

Rootבגד (b-g-d)
Core Meaningstreachery, betrayal, acting faithlessly, breach of trust
Semantic Rangeto deal treacherously, act unfaithfully, betray a covenant, break trust; by extension, treachery or betrayal in personal, marital, or covenantal relationships
Conceptual Significanceבגד is often used in covenantal contexts to describe faithlessness toward YHWH or betrayal within Israel’s community. It conveys not merely wrongdoing but a relational breach of trust, highlighting the moral and covenantal gravity of disloyalty.
Morphological NotesVerb, Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular with 3rd masculine singular object suffix ("he acted treacherously against him"), prefixed with בְּ ("in/with"). The same consonants can also represent a noun form "in his garment" (בֶּגֶד), but the verbal reading fits the cited translation context.
Rendering RationaleThe root בגד conveys treachery or faithless betrayal. The form is Qal perfect 3ms with a 3ms pronominal suffix, indicating that "he" acted treacherously against "him." The prefixed בְּ is preserved as "in," yielding a rendering that reflects both the root sense of betrayal and the specific masculine singular subject and object.
