you shall be far off
| Root | רחק (r-ḥ-q) |
| Core Meanings | distance, remoteness, widening, separation |
| Semantic Range | to be far, become distant, remain at a distance, withdraw, refrain, keep away, be remote (spatially, relationally, or metaphorically) |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb often expresses not only physical distance but relational or covenantal separation. It can describe distancing from evil, injustice, or danger, underscoring the biblical theme that moral and spiritual health involves keeping far from what corrupts or threatens covenant fidelity. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect/jussive forms (2ms and 3fs attested). The dominant form is second person masculine singular, with one occurrence as third person feminine singular. Qal stem expresses a simple state or action of becoming distant. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root רחק conveys the idea of widening distance or becoming far. In the Qal stem, the verb is intransitive, meaning "to be far" or "to become distant." The morphology (primarily Qal imperfect/jussive 2ms) is reflected by the second person masculine singular "you" and the modal nuance "shall," which can express either simple future or exhortation ("you must"). |
