SIBI-P1 H4347-02
a smiting-blow
| Root | נכה (n-k-h) |
| Core Meanings | to strike, to smite, to hit, to wound |
| Semantic Range | blow, stroke, wound, beating, plague, slaughter, pestilence (as a divinely inflicted blow) |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of physical injury or of divine judgment, especially the "plagues" as blows struck by YHWH against Egypt or other nations, portraying judgment as a direct, forceful act of striking. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state, derived from the verbal root נכה. Functions as a concrete noun denoting the result or act of striking. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַכָּה derives from the root נכה (“to strike, smite”). As a common feminine singular absolute noun (HNcfsa), it denotes a single instance or result of striking; "a smiting-blow" preserves the concrete sense of an inflicted strike while reflecting the feminine singular form. |
