SIBI-P1 H3256-05
Discipline!
| Root | יסר (y-s-r) |
| Core Meanings | discipline, correction, chastening, instruction through restraint |
| Semantic Range | to chastise physically, to rebuke verbally, to correct, to instruct through discipline, to train by restraint, to reform |
| Conceptual Significance | יסר expresses covenantal discipline—correction intended not merely to punish but to instruct and restore. It often describes parental training or YHWH’s formative chastening of His people, emphasizing growth through guided correction. |
| Morphological Notes | Piel imperative, 2ms (יַסֵּר) from יסר, expressing intensive or deliberate correction. A related form in the dataset (Hiphil 3ms, יָסֵר from סור) means "he will cause to turn aside/remove," reflecting a distinct but phonologically similar root. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form יַסֵּר (Piel imperative, 2nd masculine singular) intensifies the root יסר, conveying active, intentional correction or chastening. Rendering it as "Discipline!" preserves the forceful, corrective sense of the Piel stem and reflects the direct command addressed to a masculine singular subject. |
