SIBI-P1 H5221-16
the smiter
| Root | נכה (n-k-h) |
| Core Meanings | striking, smiting, beating, striking down, inflicting blows |
| Semantic Range | to strike, smite, beat, wound, strike down in battle, inflict punishment, kill; metaphorically to afflict or defeat |
| Conceptual Significance | This root frequently appears in contexts of divine judgment, warfare, and covenant discipline. The participial form can denote a habitual or characteristic striker—whether a human aggressor or YHWH as the one who strikes in judgment—highlighting the active agency behind acts of defeat or punishment. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ־). Functions substantivally: "the one who strikes/smites." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Hiphil masculine singular active participle with the definite article, literally "the one who causes to strike" or "the one who strikes down." "The smiter" preserves the active, agentive sense of the Hiphil stem and reflects the masculine singular definite form. |
