SIBI-P1 H7114-09
and she grew short
| Root | קצר (q-ṣ-r) |
| Core Meanings | shortness, curtailing, cutting off, reaping, narrowing, impatience |
| Semantic Range | to be short, become shortened, curtail, reap, cut down, be impatient, be vexed, be grieved, be straitened |
| Conceptual Significance | The imagery of "shortness" in Hebrew thought conveys limitation of patience or endurance—when one’s spirit or breath is "shortened," tolerance is exhausted. The term links physical shortness with emotional constriction, reflecting the embodied nature of biblical psychology. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd feminine singular from קָצַר; narrative past tense with feminine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root קצר conveys the idea of becoming short, curtailed, or narrowed. This form is Qal wayyiqtol 3rd feminine singular, indicating a completed past action by a feminine subject in narrative sequence, hence "and she grew short." In context this often idiomatically expresses impatience or vexation (e.g., a "shortened" spirit), but the rendering preserves the core image of shortness. |
