SIBI-P1 H3808-07
not
| Root | לא (l-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | negation, non-existence, denial, absence |
| Semantic Range | not, no, neither, nor, never, none, nothing; absolute negation of statements, actions, qualities, or existence |
| Conceptual Significance | לֹא is foundational to biblical theology as the particle of covenantal prohibition and moral boundary, especially in commands (e.g., "You shall not..."). It marks denial, exclusion, and the setting apart of what is forbidden, untrue, or nonexistent within Israel’s covenant life. |
| Morphological Notes | Indeclinable negative particle (HTn). It does not inflect for gender, number, or person and typically negates verbs, clauses, or nominal statements. Distinct from אַל, which is often used for prohibitions in specific verbal contexts. |
| Rendering Rationale | לֹא is the standard absolute negation particle in Biblical Hebrew, expressing simple denial or non-existence. As an indeclinable particle (HTn), it carries no gender, number, or person distinctions, so the faithful rendering "not" preserves both its core negating force and its uninflected grammatical form. |
