SIBI-P1 H6040-07

bowed-down affliction

Rootענה (ʿ-n-h)
Core Meaningsto be bowed down, afflicted, humbled, brought low
Semantic Rangeaffliction, misery, poverty, oppression, humiliation, suffering brought by hardship or injustice
Conceptual SignificanceThis term often describes the lived experience of covenant suffering—being brought low by oppression, exile, or divine discipline—yet it also becomes the context in which YHWH sees, hears, and redeems His people.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun; appears in absolute and construct forms, sometimes with 1st common singular pronominal suffix ("my").
Rendering RationaleThe noun עֳנִי derives from the root ענה in the sense of being bowed down or humbled. "Bowed-down affliction" preserves the imagery of being pressed low while reflecting the masculine singular noun form; in construct with a 1cs suffix it would be rendered "my bowed-down affliction," maintaining number and person.
