they will wander away and perish

Rootאבד (ʾ-b-d)
Core Meaningswandering away, being lost, perishing, destruction, disappearance
Semantic Rangeto wander away, be lost, go astray, perish, be destroyed, disappear, come to ruin
Conceptual Significanceאבד often expresses not merely physical destruction but the tragic condition of being lost or cut off. It can describe personal ruin, national judgment, or spiritual estrangement, underscoring the covenantal theme that separation from YHWH leads to perishing.
Morphological NotesVerb in Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural (HVqi3mp). The Qal stem conveys the basic intransitive sense: to wander off, be lost, or perish.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root אבד—"to wander away" or "to be lost," which by extension means "to perish." The imperfect 3rd masculine plural form requires the rendering "they will," preserving both the future aspect and masculine plural subject.
