SIBI-P1 H5787-02

a struck-blind man

Rootעור (ʿ-w-r)
Core Meaningsblindness, lack of sight, being sightless, figurative insensitivity
Semantic Rangephysically blind; deprived of sight; figuratively blind to truth, justice, or understanding; morally or spiritually insensitive
Conceptual SignificanceBlindness in the Hebrew Bible often signifies more than physical impairment—it can symbolize spiritual dullness, moral failure, or covenantal disobedience. The term frequently appears in legal, prophetic, and poetic contexts, highlighting both compassion toward the vulnerable and warning against spiritual blindness.
Morphological NotesAdjective, masculine singular absolute; derived in intensive form from the root עור (ʿ-w-r), "to be blind." Functions substantivally at times to denote a blind man.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a masculine singular adjective (absolute), so the rendering preserves masculine singular sense with "man." The phrase "struck-blind" reflects the intensive nuance of the form and keeps close to the root idea of being rendered sightless, whether physically or figuratively.
