SIBI-P1 H6588-17
rebellion
| Root | פשע (p-š-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | rebellion, revolt, breach, breaking away, willful offense |
| Semantic Range | rebellion against authority, political revolt, breach of covenant, willful sin, transgression arising from defiance |
| Conceptual Significance | פשע denotes deliberate covenantal breach—an act of conscious rebellion against יהוה or rightful authority. It emphasizes relational rupture and defiance rather than accidental wrongdoing, highlighting the gravity of covenant unfaithfulness in the biblical worldview. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (HNcmsa/HNcmsc), appearing in both absolute and construct states; no pronominal suffix in the given forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root פשע, meaning to rebel or break away in defiance. Rendering it as "rebellion" preserves the core sense of willful revolt rather than a mere mistake. The form is masculine singular (absolute or construct), which is reflected in the singular English noun. |
