SIBI-P1 H2930-11
she has become unclean
| Root | טמא (ṭ-m-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | uncleanness, impurity, contamination, defilement (ritual or moral) |
| Semantic Range | to become ritually unclean, to be defiled, to incur impurity, to be morally polluted, to enter a state of contamination |
| Conceptual Significance | Impurity (טומאה) in biblical thought marks separation from holiness and from the sanctuary, whether through ritual conditions or moral transgression. The verb underscores the serious covenantal implications of becoming unclean, often requiring purification and restoration. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Nifal stem (passive/reflexive), perfect tense, 3rd person feminine singular. The Nifal form often conveys a state resulting from defilement, whether incurred or received. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root טמא denotes becoming or being in a state of impurity. In the Nifal stem (passive/reflexive) perfect 3rd feminine singular, the verb expresses that she has entered into a state of uncleanness. "She has become unclean" preserves both the stative-passive nuance of the Nifal and the feminine singular subject. |
