evil-of

Rootרעע (r-ʿ-ʿ)
Core Meaningsbadness, harm, injury, adversity, moral evil, calamity
Semantic Rangemoral evil, wickedness, misfortune, calamity, injury, distress, adversity, harmful circumstance
Conceptual SignificanceThis term expresses both moral corruption and experiential calamity in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the worldview in which ethical wrongdoing and disastrous events are intertwined under the broad category of what is ‘bad’ or harmful. Its construct usage often specifies the source, object, or sphere of such evil, sharpening theological reflection on responsibility and consequence.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in the construct state (HNcfsc). The absolute form is רָעָה; in construct it becomes רָעַת, indicating possession or association with a following noun.
Rendering RationaleThe form רָעַת is the feminine singular construct of רַע/רָעָה, derived from the root רעע (“to be bad, harmful”). Rendering it as “evil-of” preserves both the core sense of harmfulness or badness and the construct state, which requires the noun to be completed by a following genitive (“evil of …”).
