SIBI-P1 H2865-11
they will be shattered in fear
| Root | חתת (ḥ-t-t) |
| Core Meanings | to be shattered, to be broken down, to be dismayed, to be terrified |
| Semantic Range | to be physically shattered, to be broken down, to be terrified, to be dismayed, to lose courage, to be confounded |
| Conceptual Significance | חתת often expresses the collapse of courage before YHWH’s power or judgment, portraying fear as an inner breaking. It underscores the biblical theme that opposition to YHWH results not merely in defeat but in inward disintegration and loss of resolve. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from חתת in Qal and Niphal imperfect 3rd person masculine plural (yiqtol); in several contexts it carries a jussive nuance ("may they be shattered"). The Niphal forms emphasize passive/reflexive sense (be broken/dismayed). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חתת conveys the idea of being broken down or shattered, often inwardly through fear or dismay. The form is third person masculine plural imperfect (Qal/Niphal), so "they will be shattered" preserves both the plural masculine subject and the sense of being broken or dismayed, with "in fear" reflecting the common figurative force of the root. |
