SIBI-P1 H4751-03
the bitter ones
| Root | מרר (m-r-r) |
| Core Meanings | bitterness, sharpness, acridity, embitterment, grievousness |
| Semantic Range | Literally bitter in taste; figuratively embittered, resentful, grievous, harsh, or severe; can describe emotional distress, hostile persons, or painful circumstances. |
| Conceptual Significance | Bitterness in the Hebrew Bible often symbolizes deep anguish, rebellion, or severe affliction. Those described as "bitter" embody inner turmoil or opposition, reflecting the relational and covenantal tensions that arise when suffering or estrangement from YHWH occurs. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine plural absolute (Aampa) with prefixed definite article (הַ). Used substantivally to denote people or things characterized by bitterness. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine plural adjective in the absolute state with the definite article ("the"). Rendering it as "the bitter ones" preserves the adjectival sense from the root מרר (to be bitter, to make bitter) while reflecting its masculine plural form and substantival usage. |
