SIBI-P1 H898-09

and the men dealing treacherously

Rootבגד (b-g-d)
Core Meaningscovering, acting covertly, betrayal, treachery, faithlessness
Semantic Rangeto act covertly, to betray, to be unfaithful (in covenant or marriage), to deal deceitfully, to act treacherously against someone
Conceptual Significanceבגד often describes covenantal betrayal—whether against God, between spouses, or among political allies. It conveys not merely wrongdoing but faithless violation of trust, highlighting the seriousness of relational and covenantal disloyalty in biblical theology.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ + Qal active participle, masculine plural absolute, from בגד. Denotes agents characterized by treacherous action.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal masculine plural active participle denotes ongoing or characteristic action—"ones who deal treacherously." Rendering it as "the men dealing treacherously" preserves the participial force and reflects the masculine plural form, while "and" represents the prefixed conjunction.
