SIBI-P1 H5545-06
and he was granted-forgiveness
| Root | סלח (s-l-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | forgiveness, pardon, release from guilt, sparing |
| Semantic Range | to be forgiven, to be pardoned, to be spared from penalty, to have guilt removed |
| Conceptual Significance | סלח is used almost exclusively of divine forgiveness in the Hebrew Bible, underscoring that the removal of guilt and restoration of relationship is an act granted by God. It conveys covenantal mercy and the lifting of moral liability. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem, perfect (qatal), 3rd person masculine singular, prefixed with conjunction וְ ('and'). The Niphal conveys passive or reflexive sense: 'be forgiven.' |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem expresses a passive state, indicating that the subject (3rd masculine singular) receives the action of the root. "Was granted-forgiveness" preserves the passive sense while keeping the core idea of pardon inherent in סלח, and the masculine singular is reflected in "he." |
