SIBI-P1 H2087-01

in arrogant presumption

Rootזוד (z-w-d)
Core Meaningsto boil, seethe, act arrogantly, act presumptuously
Semantic Rangearrogance, pride, presumptuousness, willful rebellion, insolent wrongdoing
Conceptual Significanceזָדוֹן often denotes deliberate, high-handed sin committed in conscious defiance of YHWH. It reflects not merely inner pride but an outward, willful rebellion that ‘boils over’ into action, contrasting with unintentional sin and highlighting moral accountability in covenantal theology.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ (“in”) + masculine singular noun absolute (Ncmsa). No pronominal suffix; singular abstract noun functioning adverbially in context.
Rendering Rationaleזָדוֹן is a masculine singular noun derived from the root זוד, which conveys the idea of boiling over and thus acting arrogantly or presumptuously. The preposition בְּ (“in”) governs the noun in the singular absolute form, so "in arrogant presumption" preserves both the singular form and the root sense of willful, boiling-over pride.
