SIBI-P1 H5375-57
a lifting-up
| Root | נשא (n-ś-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | lift, carry, bear, raise, exalt, elevate |
| Semantic Range | physical swelling or rising (especially of the skin), elevation in rank, exaltation, dignity, acceptance, cheerfulness |
| Conceptual Significance | שְׂאֵת expresses the visible or social result of being "lifted up," whether physically (as a raised swelling), socially (exaltation in status), or relationally (being accepted or favored). It reflects the biblical motif that elevation—whether of face, status, or condition—comes through divine action or judgment. |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun (absolute; occasionally construct) derived from the verbal root נשא. The form denotes a state or result of lifting or elevation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שְׂאֵת is a feminine singular form derived from the root נשא, "to lift, raise, or exalt." Rendering it as "a lifting-up" preserves the core idea of elevation inherent in the root while accurately reflecting its feminine singular absolute morphology. |
