SIBI-P1 H4131-05
he will totter
| Root | מוט (m-w-ṭ) |
| Core Meanings | shaking, tottering, slipping, instability, being moved from a fixed place |
| Semantic Range | to be shaken, to totter, to slip, to be moved, to be destabilized, to waver, to fall or collapse (figuratively or physically) |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used metaphorically for moral, spiritual, or national instability. In biblical theology, the righteous are promised that they "will not totter," expressing covenantal security, while the wicked are portrayed as unstable and liable to collapse. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd masculine singular. The Niphal gives a passive/reflexive nuance: "to be shaken" or "to totter." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem of מוט conveys a passive or reflexive sense of being shaken or set in motion from stability. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered "he will totter," preserving both the future/incomplete aspect and the masculine singular subject while reflecting the root idea of instability. |
