SIBI-P1 H631-19
you will be bound fast
| Root | אסר (ʾ-ś-r) |
| Core Meanings | binding, fastening, yoking, restraining, imprisoning |
| Semantic Range | to be bound, be tied, be restrained, be imprisoned, be fastened, be yoked, be constrained or obligated |
| Conceptual Significance | The root אסר often conveys the physical act of binding but extends metaphorically to imprisonment, obligation, or divine restraint. In biblical theology, being "bound" can signify judgment, captivity, or enforced submission, highlighting themes of human limitation under authority or divine decree. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from the root אסר in the Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect tense, second person masculine singular (HVNi2ms). The form expresses a future or modal passive action directed toward a male individual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense of the root אסר, meaning "to bind" or "to fasten." The imperfect second masculine singular form is rendered "you will be bound," preserving both the passive force of Niphal and the singular masculine addressee; "bound fast" reflects the root’s concrete imagery of tying or securing firmly. |
