SIBI-P1 H2638-03
and lacking
| Root | חסר (ḥ-s-r) |
| Core Meanings | lack, deficiency, absence, diminution, need |
| Semantic Range | to be lacking, to be without, to diminish, to fail, to be in need, to be deprived |
| Conceptual Significance | The root חסר often highlights human limitation, material deprivation, or spiritual need, underscoring dependence upon YHWH as the one who fills what is lacking and supplies what is needed. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וַ־ ("and") prefixed to an adjective masculine singular (construct form). Functions adjectivally to describe a masculine singular noun in a state of deficiency. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective חָסֵר denotes one who is in a state of deficiency or absence. The form is masculine singular (Aamsc) with prefixed conjunction וַ־, so "and lacking" preserves both the conjunctive force and the singular adjectival sense describing a masculine subject. |
