and reproach of
| Root | חרף (ḥ-r-p) |
| Core Meanings | to reproach, taunt, scorn, defy, treat with contempt |
| Semantic Range | reproach, disgrace, shame, scorn, taunt, public humiliation, social dishonor |
| Conceptual Significance | חֶרְפָּה conveys more than private shame; it often denotes public disgrace or covenantal humiliation, whether inflicted by enemies or removed by YHWH. It reflects the communal and honor-based framework of ancient Israel, where reproach signified loss of standing before both God and society. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to a feminine singular noun (Ncfsc) in the construct state from חֶרְפָּה. The construct form חֶרְפַּת links the noun to a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | חֶרְפַּת is a feminine singular noun in the construct state, here joined with the conjunction וְ (“and”). The rendering "and reproach of" preserves the singular form and reflects the construct relationship, indicating that the reproach belongs to or is directed toward someone or something that follows in context. |
