SIBI-P1 H6-03
she has wandered away (and perished)
| Root | אבד (ʾ-ʾ-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | wandering away, perishing, being lost, destruction, ruin |
| Semantic Range | to wander away, be lost, perish, be destroyed, come to ruin, vanish, be undone |
| Conceptual Significance | This root expresses the tragic movement from belonging to loss—whether physical destruction, exile, or spiritual ruin—often portraying covenantal consequences or the fragility of life apart from divine preservation. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect, 3rd feminine singular from the root אבד; denotes a completed action performed by a feminine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd feminine singular form indicates a completed action by a feminine singular subject, hence "she has." The rendering preserves the root sense of wandering away leading to ruin, keeping both the literal motion and the resultant state of perishing inherent in אבד. |
