| Root | חסר (ḥ-s-r) |
| Core Meanings | lack, deficiency, need, diminution, absence |
| Semantic Range | to lack, be without, be deficient, be diminished, fail, decrease, be bereaved |
| Conceptual Significance | The verb often expresses human dependence and insufficiency, highlighting the need for divine provision or completeness. In theological contexts, it underscores that true sufficiency comes from YHWH, who removes lack and restores what is deficient. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) form; attested as 2ms and 3fs in the cited occurrences. The Qal stem expresses the simple state or action of lacking. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חסר conveys the idea of lacking or being deficient. This form is Qal imperfect 2nd masculine singular, indicating a simple active future/incomplete action addressed to a male individual, hence "you (masculine singular) will lack." |
