rebellion
| Root | מרה (m-r-h) |
| Core Meanings | bitterness, resistance, defiance, rebellion |
| Semantic Range | rebellion, defiance, obstinacy, embittered resistance, contentious disobedience |
| Conceptual Significance | מְרִי often describes covenantal defiance against יהוה, especially Israel’s refusal to heed His word. It carries not only the idea of outward rebellion but also the inner bitterness and stubbornness that fuel disobedience, highlighting the relational breach between the people and their God. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). No pronominal suffix; functions as a singular abstract noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מְרִי is a masculine singular absolute form derived from the root מרה, which conveys bitterness that manifests as resistance or defiance. "Rebellion" preserves the singular nominal sense while reflecting the root idea of embittered resistance against authority, especially against יהוה in covenant contexts. |
