she will be burned

Rootשרף (ś-r-p)
Core Meaningsburning, setting on fire, consuming by fire, incineration
Semantic Rangeto be burned, to be consumed by fire, to undergo fiery destruction, to be incinerated; metaphorically to experience judgment or purging
Conceptual SignificanceBurning in the Hebrew Bible often signifies divine judgment, total destruction, or ritual removal of impurity. The passive form underscores the subject as recipient of consuming fire, frequently within covenantal or judicial contexts.
Morphological NotesVerb from root שרף in the Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect tense, 3rd person feminine singular (HVNi3fs). Denotes a future or incomplete passive action affecting a feminine subject.
Rendering RationaleThe form is Niphal imperfect 3rd feminine singular, indicating a passive action performed upon a feminine subject. "She will be burned" preserves the passive force of the Niphal stem and the feminine singular subject while retaining the core sense of destruction by fire inherent in the root שרף.
