SIBI-P1 H5545-10
may he pardon
| Root | סלח (s-l-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | forgive, pardon, spare, release from guilt |
| Semantic Range | to forgive sin, to pardon wrongdoing, to spare from judgment, to withhold deserved punishment |
| Conceptual Significance | סלח is used especially of יהוה’s act of forgiving covenantal breaches. It underscores divine mercy and the restoration of relationship after sin, highlighting the theological theme that pardon ultimately proceeds from Elohim rather than from human initiative. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular; some forms reflect jussive nuance. No pronominal suffix attached. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal imperfect/jussive 3rd masculine singular, expressing either simple future ("he will pardon") or a volitive sense ("may he pardon"). "Pardon" preserves the root idea of releasing from guilt or offense, and "may he" reflects the 3ms jussive nuance present in several occurrences. |
