SIBI-P1 H5137-08
he will sprinkle
| Root | נזה (n-z-h) |
| Core Meanings | spurt, sprinkle, splatter, besprinkle for purification |
| Semantic Range | to sprinkle liquid, to spatter, to dash drops upon; especially used of ritual sprinkling of blood or water for cleansing, consecration, or expiation |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Scriptures, נזה is closely associated with priestly acts of purification and atonement, particularly the sprinkling of sacrificial blood or cleansing water. The act signifies ritual cleansing, covenant renewal, and restoration to holiness before YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. Active voice; denotes incomplete, habitual, or future action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple active action performed by "he." "He will sprinkle" preserves both the active voice of the Qal stem and the masculine singular subject, while reflecting the root’s core sense of scattering liquid in drops, often for ritual purification. |
