SIBI-P1 H4191-46
dead man
| Root | מות (m-w-t) |
| Core Meanings | death, dying, cessation of life, extinction |
| Semantic Range | to die, to be dead, to suffer death, to be put to death; figuratively to face ruin, destruction, or extreme peril |
| Conceptual Significance | מות 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 Notes | Qal 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 Rationale | The 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. |
