deceitfulness
| Root | רמה (r-m-h) |
| Core Meanings | to deceive, betray, deal treacherously, mislead |
| Semantic Range | deceit, treachery, fraud, guile, false dealing, deliberate misrepresentation |
| Conceptual Significance | מִרְמָה characterizes conduct that violates covenantal trust and communal integrity. In biblical theology it stands opposed to truthfulness and faithfulness, marking a heart and speech that undermine righteousness and faithful relationships before יהוה and others. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa), formed as an abstract noun from the verbal root רמה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִרְמָה is a feminine singular abstract noun derived from the verb רָמָה (“to deceive, betray”). Rendering it as “deceitfulness” preserves the verbal idea of active deceiving inherent in the root while reflecting the singular, abstract feminine form indicated by the morphology (HNcfsa). |
