she will act treacherously
| Root | מעל (m-ʿ-l) |
| Core Meanings | covering over, acting covertly, treachery, breach of trust, unfaithfulness |
| Semantic Range | to act treacherously, to break faith, to commit a breach of trust, to trespass against sacred trust, to deal deceitfully |
| Conceptual Significance | מעל often denotes covenantal unfaithfulness—whether against YHWH, sacred objects, or fellow community members—highlighting the seriousness of betrayal within Israel’s relational and covenant framework. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 3rd person feminine singular (HVqi3fs). The imperfect form may express future, habitual, or modal action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of covert betrayal inherent in מעל, conveying a breach of trust rather than a generic sin. The third feminine singular imperfect form is reflected by "she will," maintaining both gender and verbal aspect. |
