and straightnesses
| Root | ישׁר (y-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | straightness, uprightness, rightness, evenness, alignment |
| Semantic Range | uprightness, equity, rectitude, moral straightness, fairness, concord, right conduct |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, "straightness" signifies alignment with YHWH’s standards—ethical integrity and just dealing. It conveys the idea of walking in a path that is morally level and properly ordered before God. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ ("and") prefixed to a common masculine plural noun in the absolute state (Ncmpa). Though plural in form, it frequently expresses an abstract quality. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root ישר ("to be straight, upright"). Although often functioning abstractly, the form here is masculine plural absolute with a prefixed conjunction, so the rendering preserves both the plural morphology and the core idea of "straightness." |
