SIBI-P1 H898-06

a treacherous dealer

Rootבגד (b-g-d)
Core Meaningscovering, acting covertly, treachery, faithlessness, betrayal
Semantic Rangeto act treacherously, deal deceitfully, betray, be unfaithful (in covenant or marriage), transgress, act covertly against another
Conceptual Significanceבגד frequently describes covenantal betrayal—whether against YHWH, between spouses, or among allies—highlighting the gravity of faithlessness in Israel’s relational and theological framework. It portrays sin not merely as error but as covert violation of trust.
Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine singular absolute from בָּגַד (bāgad). Functions substantivally to describe a man characterized by treachery or faithless action.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal active participle masculine singular, denoting "one who acts" in the manner of the root. "Treacherous dealer" preserves the participial sense (an ongoing characteristic action) and reflects the root idea of covert, faithless dealing, while the singular masculine form is maintained in English.
