SIBI-P1 H2638-01
lacking-of
| Root | חסר (ḥ-s-r) |
| Core Meanings | lack, deficiency, want, deprivation, diminution |
| Semantic Range | lacking, without, deprived of, in need of, deficient in, void of |
| Conceptual Significance | The root חסר often expresses human need, insufficiency, or deprivation, highlighting dependence on provision—whether material, relational, or spiritual. In theological contexts, it can underscore the contrast between human lack and divine sufficiency. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, construct state; from the root חסר. In construct it links to a following noun, expressing deficiency in relation to it. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective חֲסַר is masculine singular in the construct state (HAamsc), describing a masculine noun as being in a state of deficiency in relation to what follows. The rendering "lacking-of" preserves the root idea of חסר (to be deficient, to lack) and reflects the construct relationship requiring a complement. |
