SIBI-P1 H6-19
the perishing ones
| Root | אבד (ʾ-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | wandering away, perishing, being lost, destruction, ruin |
| Semantic Range | to wander away, be lost, go astray, perish, be destroyed, come to ruin; in participial form, those who are perishing or lost |
| Conceptual Significance | This term often designates those facing destruction, exile, or spiritual ruin. It carries covenantal weight in biblical theology, highlighting both physical destruction and the deeper reality of being lost or cut off, while also implying the possibility of restoration for the "perishing ones." |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed definite article (הָ־). Functions substantivally: "the ones who are perishing." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine plural with the definite article, literally "the ones who are perishing." Rendering it as "the perishing ones" preserves the root sense of אבד (to wander away, be lost, perish) while accurately reflecting the masculine plural participial form. |
