a turning-aside wound

Rootזור (z-w-r)
Core Meaningsto turn aside, to deviate, to be estranged, to depart, to act as a stranger
Semantic Rangewound, sore, affliction; figuratively a harmful plot, treachery, or damaging estrangement
Conceptual SignificanceThe term can describe both physical injury and figurative harm resulting from betrayal or estrangement. Its root connection to "turning aside" underscores the biblical theme that deviation from covenant faithfulness results in wounding—whether personal, communal, or spiritual.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). No pronominal suffix or construct relationship is present.
Rendering RationaleThe noun מָזוֹר derives from the root זוּר ("to turn aside, to become estranged"). Rendering it as "a turning-aside wound" preserves the root idea of deviation or estrangement while reflecting its concrete sense as a wound or affliction. The form is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), which is represented in English by the singular noun with the indefinite article.
