a rebuking
| Root | גער (g-ʿ-r) |
| Core Meanings | to rebuke, reprove, censure, threaten sharply |
| Semantic Range | rebuke, reproof, sharp reprimand, censure, threatening command (especially by God toward enemies or natural forces) |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, a גְּעָרָה often signifies authoritative correction, frequently attributed to YHWH’s sovereign word that subdues chaos, enemies, or sin. It underscores the power of spoken reproof as an instrument of divine order and covenantal discipline. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa), derived from the Qal verbal root גער. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גְּעָרָה derives from the verbal root גער, meaning to rebuke or sharply reprove. Rendering it as "a rebuking" preserves the verbal force of the root while reflecting its feminine singular absolute form as a single act or instance of sharp reproof. |
