SIBI-P1 H2931-03
the defiled (feminine one)
| Root | טמא (ṭ-m-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | ritual impurity, defilement, uncleanness, pollution |
| Semantic Range | ritually unclean, ceremonially impure, morally defiled, polluted, taboo |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, טמא marks a state of ritual or moral impurity that separates a person or object from sacred space and community life. It reflects the holiness framework of the Torah, where purity and impurity govern access to worship, social order, and covenantal faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ־). From the root טמא in its stative adjectival form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root טמא, expressing ritual or moral defilement. The form is feminine singular with the definite article, so the rendering preserves both the definiteness ('the') and the feminine singular sense ('defiled' referring to a feminine person or thing). |
