SIBI-P1 H3477-01
the upright one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (Aamsa) with prefixed definite article (הַ). Functions substantivally as "the upright one." |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective יָשָׁר derives from the root ישר, conveying the idea of straightness that extends metaphorically to moral uprightness and integrity. The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article, so "the upright one" preserves both the root sense of straightness and the masculine singular definiteness indicated by the morphology. |
