Accusation
| Root | שׂטן (ś-ṭ-n) |
| Core Meanings | to oppose, to accuse, to act as adversary, hostility, enmity |
| Semantic Range | accusation, hostility, opposition, enmity, adversarial contention |
| Conceptual Significance | Used as the name of Isaac’s well (Genesis 26:21), it memorializes a moment of conflict and opposition. The term reflects the broader biblical theme of adversarial resistance, linguistically connected to the figure of the "adversary" (שָׂטָן), embodying accusation and hostility within the covenantal narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular absolute noun; appears both as a common noun and as a proper noun (name of a well). No pronominal suffix; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root שׂטן (ś-ṭ-n), meaning to oppose or accuse, and denotes an instance or state of adversarial hostility. Morphologically it is a feminine singular absolute noun (HNcfsa), here also functioning as a proper name; the singular rendering "Accusation" preserves both the core adversarial sense and the grammatical number. |
