SIBI-P1 H5771-01
crookedness
| Root | עוה (ʿ-w-h) |
| Core Meanings | to bend, twist, distort, make crooked, pervert |
| Semantic Range | moral crookedness, perversity, guilt, iniquity, culpability, the consequence or punishment resulting from wrongdoing |
| Conceptual Significance | עָוֺן expresses sin not merely as legal violation but as a bending or distortion of what is straight. It often includes both the act of wrongdoing and its enduring guilt or consequence, highlighting the biblical view that moral crookedness disrupts covenant order and requires rectification or bearing. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew noun, common gender, singular (absolute עָוֺן or construct עֲוֺן). No pronominal suffix in the given forms. Functions as a concrete abstract noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עָוֺן derives from the root עוה, "to bend or twist," and denotes a moral distortion—thus "crookedness" preserves the concrete imagery of something bent out of alignment. The morphology indicates a singular common-gender noun (absolute or construct), so the rendering remains singular and does not add possessive or plural elements. |
