SIBI-P1 H1322-08
for shame
| Root | בוש (b-w-sh) |
| Core Meanings | shame, disgrace, humiliation, disappointment |
| Semantic Range | personal shame, public disgrace, humiliation, dishonor; by extension, a shameful thing or even a contemptible idol associated with disgrace. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, shame reflects covenantal failure, social dishonor, or exposure of wrongdoing. It stands in contrast to honor and vindication, and can describe both the internal experience of humiliation and the outward condition of disgrace before others or before יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa) with prefixed לְ preposition ("to/for"). No pronominal suffix; singular form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בֹּשֶׁת is a feminine singular form meaning "shame" or "disgrace," derived from the root בוש (to be ashamed). The prefixed לְ preposition means "to" or "for," so "for shame" preserves both the root sense and the singular feminine noun governed by the preposition. |
