SIBI-P1 H7563-14
a guilty-wicked man
| Root | רשע (r-š-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | wickedness, guilt, criminality, being in the wrong, moral wrongness |
| Semantic Range | morally wrong person, guilty party, criminal, unjust man, one condemned in court, impious or ungodly individual |
| Conceptual Significance | רָשָׁע represents the covenant violator who stands opposed to צדק (righteousness). In biblical theology, the רָשָׁע is not merely flawed but actively aligned against YHWH’s justice, often contrasted with the צַדִּיק (righteous one) in wisdom and prophetic literature. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa), often used substantively to denote a wicked or guilty man in contrast to the righteous. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective רָשָׁע (masculine singular absolute) describes one who is morally and legally in the wrong. Rendering it as "a guilty-wicked man" preserves both the ethical sense (wicked) and the forensic nuance (guilty), while clearly reflecting the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
