SIBI-P1 H779-10
the curse-invokers
| Root | ארר (ʾ-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | to curse, to bind with a curse, to invoke harm, to pronounce doom |
| Semantic Range | to curse, to pronounce a ban, to invoke divine harm, to bind someone under a curse, to declare someone accursed |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical worldview, invoking a curse is not merely verbal hostility but an appeal to divine justice or judgment. Those identified as "the curse-invokers" participate in covenantal dynamics of blessing and curse, reflecting the serious theological weight of spoken declarations before יהוה. |
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הַ) + Piel participle masculine plural active (מְאָרֲרִים) from the root ארר. The Piel stem conveys an intensive or declarative action: pronouncing or invoking a curse. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine plural active participle with the definite article, indicating "the ones who are cursing" or "those who invoke curses." Rendering it as "the curse-invokers" preserves the active, intensive sense of the Piel stem and clearly reflects the masculine plural participial form. |
