SIBI-P1 H7961-05
and secure-at-ease
| Root | שלה (sh-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | to be at ease, to be undisturbed, to be secure, to be complacent |
| Semantic Range | tranquil, undisturbed, secure, prosperous, complacent, carefree, quiet |
| Conceptual Significance | This term often carries a dual nuance in Scripture: it can denote genuine peace and stability, but frequently implies a dangerous complacency—security without vigilance—highlighting the biblical tension between true shalom and false, self-assured ease. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (Ams), with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). Derived from the root שלה, expressing a state of ease or security. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective שָׁלֵו (masculine singular absolute) describes one who is in a state of undisturbed security or ease. Rendering it as "secure-at-ease" preserves the root sense of settled tranquility while reflecting the masculine singular form modified by the prefixed conjunction "and." |
