dead man

Rootמות (m-w-t)
Core Meaningsdeath, dying, cessation of life, extinction
Semantic Rangeto die, to be dead, to suffer death, to be put to death; figuratively to face ruin, destruction, or extreme peril
Conceptual Significanceמות expresses the fundamental biblical reality of mortality under the curse of sin, the boundary between life and Sheol, and the judicial consequence of wrongdoing. The term anchors covenantal themes of life versus death, obedience versus judgment, and frames Israel’s hope for deliverance from death’s finality.
Morphological NotesQal participle masculine singular absolute (מֵת), from the root מות; also attested as Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular ("he died"). The participle often functions substantivally ("dead man").
Rendering RationaleThe form מֵת is most commonly the Qal masculine singular participle of מות, describing one who has undergone the action of dying—thus "dead man," preserving the masculine singular force of the Hebrew. In other occurrences it can function as Qal perfect 3ms ("he died"), but in its participial use it denotes a single male individual in the state resulting from death.
