SIBI-P1 H4805-01
the rebellion
| Root | מרה (m-r-h) |
| Core Meanings | bitterness, contentiousness, rebellion, defiance |
| Semantic Range | rebellion, defiance, obstinacy, embittered resistance, disobedience against authority (especially against YHWH) |
| Conceptual Significance | מְרִי frequently characterizes Israel’s covenantal unfaithfulness, portraying sin not merely as error but as embittered resistance against divine authority. It frames rebellion as a relational breach rooted in hardened defiance rather than simple disobedience. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ־). No pronominal suffix. From the verbal root מרה (Qal: to be bitter, to rebel). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מְרִי derives from the root מרה, "to be bitter, to rebel," and denotes a state of defiant resistance. The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article ("the"), so "the rebellion" preserves both the singular grammatical form and the root sense of embittered defiance. |
