SIBI-P1 H8313-45
he burns up
| Root | שׂרף (ś-r-p) |
| Core Meanings | burning, consuming by fire, setting aflame, incineration |
| Semantic Range | to burn, burn up, consume by fire, set on fire, be aflame, destroy by burning, execute by burning |
| Conceptual Significance | Burning in the Hebrew Bible often signifies judgment, purification, destruction of impurity, or total removal. The root שׂרף is associated with divine judgment, sacrificial disposal, and the consuming holiness of יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. The Qal conveys simple active burning or being on fire; the imperfect may express future, habitual, or modal action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes simple active action by a masculine singular subject. "He burns up" preserves the core idea of consuming by fire inherent in the root שׂרף while accurately reflecting the third-person masculine singular imperfect verbal form. |
