exiled one (masculine singular)

Rootגלה (g-l-h)
Core Meaningsto uncover, to expose, to strip, to go into exile, to reveal
Semantic Rangeone who goes into exile, an exile, a deported person, one stripped from homeland; by extension connected to themes of exposure or removal
Conceptual SignificanceThis term embodies the covenantal consequences of judgment in Israel’s history, where exile represents both physical removal from the land and symbolic stripping or exposure before YHWH. It carries theological weight as a marker of displacement, discipline, and eventual hope for restoration.
Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine singular absolute (גֹּלֶה). Functions substantivally to denote a single male individual who is in exile or has gone into exile.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal active participle masculine singular absolute from גלה. In the Qal stem this verb can mean "to go into exile," so the participle denotes "one who is in exile" or "one who has gone into exile." Rendering it "exiled one" preserves the root’s sense of being stripped away or removed, while reflecting the masculine singular morphology.
