SIBI-P1 H2347-06
she will spare in compassion
| Root | חוס (ḥ-w-s) |
| Core Meanings | covering, compassion, pity, sparing, regard |
| Semantic Range | to pity, to have compassion, to spare from harm or judgment, to show regard or protective concern |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of divine or human mercy, this verb reflects the biblical concept of compassionate restraint—choosing to withhold harm out of protective concern, highlighting covenantal mercy and relational responsibility. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 3rd person feminine singular (HVqi3fs); expresses incomplete or future action performed by a feminine subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חוס conveys the idea of protective covering that extends into compassion and sparing. Rendering it as "she will spare in compassion" preserves both the concrete-root sense (protective regard) and the Qal imperfect 3rd feminine singular form, clearly indicating a future action performed by a feminine subject. |
