SIBI-P1 H898-08

betraying men

Rootבגד (b-g-d)
Core Meaningscovering, acting covertly, betrayal, treachery, unfaithfulness
Semantic Rangethose who deal treacherously, act unfaithfully, betray covenants, transgress trust, or behave deceitfully in social or covenantal relationships
Conceptual Significanceבגד often carries covenantal weight, describing those who violate trust—whether marital, social, or divine. In the biblical worldview, such betrayal is not merely social misconduct but a breach of covenant faithfulness, opposing the steadfast loyalty expected within Israel’s relationship with יהוה and with one another.
Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine plural, absolute form; functioning substantivally to denote persons characterized by ongoing treachery.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal active participle masculine plural absolute from בגד, denoting those who are actively acting in betrayal or treachery. "Betraying men" preserves the verbal, ongoing force of the participle and reflects the masculine plural morphology while keeping the root sense of covert unfaithfulness.
