SIBI-P1 H1698-13
and by the destroying pestilence
| Root | דבר (d-b-r) |
| Core Meanings | destruction, devastation, deadly blow, plague |
| Semantic Range | pestilence, plague, epidemic disease, murrain among livestock, deadly outbreak viewed as a destructive force |
| Conceptual Significance | Often listed among covenant curses and divine judgments, דֶּבֶר represents Yahweh’s sovereign use of epidemic devastation as an instrument of discipline, judgment, or warfare, underscoring the lethal consequences of covenant unfaithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") + preposition בַ ("by/in") with definite article + noun masculine singular absolute דֶּבֶר ("pestilence"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דֶּבֶר derives from the root דבר in its sense of destruction, referring to a deadly, devastating outbreak. Rendering it "destroying pestilence" preserves the root idea of destructive force, while the prefixed conjunction וּ and preposition בַ with the definite article are reflected in "and by the," and the masculine singular form is maintained with the singular noun "pestilence." |
