| Core Meanings | to speak rashly, blurt out, utter thoughtlessly, vow impulsively |
| Semantic Range | rash statement, impulsive vow, thoughtless speech, spoken expression arising from haste or strong emotion |
| Conceptual Significance | This term highlights the biblical concern with the power and responsibility of speech, especially vows made before יהוה. It underscores the moral weight of spoken words and the danger of impulsive promises, reinforcing the covenantal ethic that words once uttered bind the speaker. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the construct state (HNcmsc), from the verbal root בטא. The construct form indicates possession or close association with a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root בטא, which conveys the idea of speaking impulsively or rashly. Rendering it as "rash-utterance" preserves this core nuance rather than the neutral "utterance." The construct state (masculine singular construct) is reflected by the "-of," indicating that the word is grammatically bound to a following complement. |
