SIBI-P1 H6937-02
the darkened ones
| Root | קדר (q-d-r) |
| Core Meanings | darkness, blackness, ashen gloom, mourning |
| Semantic Range | to be dark or blackened, to become gloomy, to appear ashen, to mourn in visible grief, to be enveloped in heaviness |
| Conceptual Significance | Darkness in biblical thought often symbolizes grief, judgment, or calamity. This root links physical blackness with emotional mourning, portraying sorrow as a visible, embodied state that marks a community or individual under distress. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַקֹּדְרִים). Functions substantivally: "the ones who are dark/gloomy." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine plural with the definite article, describing those who are in a state of darkness or gloom. "The darkened ones" preserves the root sense of ashen blackness while reflecting the plural participial form with the article. |
