falsehoods
| Root | שקר (sh-q-r) |
| Core Meanings | falsehood, deception, lying, fraud, unreliability |
| Semantic Range | lies, deceptive statements, fraudulent acts, false testimony, empty or vain things, wrongful claims |
| Conceptual Significance | שֶׁקֶר and its plural שְׁקָרִים stand in direct opposition to truth (אֱמֶת) in the biblical worldview. They encompass not only verbal lies but covenantal unfaithfulness and fraudulent behavior, marking a breach of trust before both God and community. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine noun, plural absolute form of שֶׁקֶר (sheqer). No pronominal suffix; functions as a plural substantive meaning "lies" or "falsehoods." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root שקר, "to deal falsely, to lie." As a common masculine plural absolute (HNcmpa), it denotes multiple instances or expressions of deception; "falsehoods" preserves both the plural form and the core sense of spoken or enacted untruths. |
