SIBI-P1 H8181-06
and a whirling storm
| Root | סער (s-ʿ-r) |
| Core Meanings | storming, raging, whirling, סערing turbulence |
| Semantic Range | tempest, storm, whirlwind, סערing wind, violent upheaval (literal or metaphorical) |
| Conceptual Significance | סערָה often signifies not only physical storms but also divine theophany, judgment, or overwhelming upheaval. In prophetic and poetic texts, it can symbolize YHWH’s powerful intervention, embodying both destructive force and sovereign control. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + noun feminine singular absolute (סְעָרָה). No pronominal suffix. Feminine grammatical gender is inherent to the noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סְעָרָה derives from the root סער, conveying סערing, raging turbulence. Rendered as "a whirling storm," it preserves the imagery of circular, violent motion inherent in the root. The singular form is maintained, and the prefixed conjunction וּ is reflected by "and." |
