SIBI-P1 H7562-05
wickedness
| Root | רשע (r-š-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | wickedness, guilt, criminality, moral wrong, acting unjustly |
| Semantic Range | moral wrong, criminal behavior, injustice, guilt, culpability, wicked conduct, the state or condition of being wicked |
| Conceptual Significance | רֶשַׁע denotes not merely general evil but culpable moral violation—behavior that stands in opposition to covenantal righteousness (צֶדֶק). It characterizes both individual guilt and societal injustice, forming a key contrast with righteousness in biblical theology. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); abstract noun formed from the verbal root רשע (Qal: to be wicked, act wickedly). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root רשע, "to be wicked" or "to act criminally." The rendering "wickedness" preserves the core moral sense of active wrongdoing inherent in the root. The form is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so the English rendering is singular and unmodified, reflecting the standalone abstract noun. |
