SIBI-P1 H2118-01
he will be thrust aside
| Root | זחח (z-ḥ-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | shoving, displacing, pushing away, loosening |
| Semantic Range | to be pushed away, be displaced, be thrust aside, be loosened, be moved from position |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb conveys the destabilizing of one’s position—whether physical, social, or covenantal—highlighting themes of removal, judgment, or loss of standing within the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Nifal imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular (HVNi3ms). The Nifal stem here expresses passive action: the subject undergoes being pushed or displaced. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root זחח conveys the idea of shoving or displacing. In the Nifal stem, the verb carries a passive or reflexive sense; thus, the imperfect 3rd masculine singular form means "he will be thrust aside" or "he will be displaced." The rendering preserves both the core image of forceful removal and the masculine singular verbal form. |
