SIBI-P1 H887-04
he will cause to stink
| Root | באש (b-ʾ-š) |
| Core Meanings | to stink, to emit a foul odor, to be offensive, to become odious |
| Semantic Range | to cause a literal stench; to make something repulsive; to render someone odious in the eyes of others; to bring about disgrace or offense |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, foul odor often symbolizes moral corruption, social disgrace, or divine displeasure. To "cause to stink" can describe actions that bring shame, alienation, or covenantal breach, expressing how sin or folly makes a person or people detestable before others or before God. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from the root באש; causative stem indicating that the subject causes something to become foul or offensive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the verb a causative sense, so rather than simply "to stink," it means "to cause to stink" or "to make odious." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is reflected by "he will," preserving both person and number while maintaining the root idea of foul odor as a metaphor for offense. |
