and in perishing-away

Rootאבד (ʾ-ʾ-b-d)
Core Meaningswandering away, being lost, perishing, destruction, disappearance
Semantic Rangeto wander away, be lost, go astray, perish, be destroyed, disappear, come to ruin
Conceptual Significanceאָבַד frequently describes covenantal judgment, exile, or existential loss—whether of individuals, nations, or objects. It conveys not merely physical death but the state of being cut off, ruined, or removed from one’s intended place, often as the consequence of unfaithfulness.
Morphological NotesConjunction ו + preposition ב + Qal infinitive construct of אָבַד. The infinitive construct expresses verbal action abstractly, often with temporal nuance ("when" or "in the act of"). Qal stem is simple/intransitive: "to perish, be lost."
Rendering RationaleThe form וּבַאֲבֹד consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") plus the preposition בְ ("in/when") attached to the Qal infinitive construct of אָבַד ("to wander away, perish"). "In perishing-away" preserves the root sense of loss and disappearance while accurately reflecting the infinitive construct governed by the preposition.
