overturnings

Rootהפך (h-p-k)
Core Meaningsto turn, overturn, reverse, transform, turn upside down
Semantic Rangemoral perversions, distortions, reversals, devious acts, fraudulent schemes, subversive or twisted words
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, תַּהְפֻּכוֹת often describes moral and social inversion—actions or speech that overturn what is upright and just. It conveys not merely wrongdoing, but a twisting of established order, reflecting a worldview in which righteousness aligns with straightness and fidelity, while evil is an overturning of that order.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine plural noun, absolute state (HNcfpa), from תַּהְפֻּכָה (tahpukâh). The -וֹת ending marks feminine plural. No pronominal suffix is present.
Rendering RationaleThe noun תַּהְפֻּכֹת is the feminine plural absolute form derived from the root הפך ("to turn, overturn"). Rendering it as "overturnings" preserves the core image of reversal or inversion inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the feminine plural morphology.
