SIBI-P1 H2154-02
a plotting-wickedness
| Root | זמם (z-m-m) |
| Core Meanings | to plan, devise, purpose, scheme (often with harmful intent) |
| Semantic Range | scheme, plotted evil, wicked plan, heinous crime, lewd act, moral outrage, deliberate mischief |
| Conceptual Significance | זִמָּה highlights not merely wrongdoing but premeditated moral corruption—evil conceived in the heart and brought to action. In biblical ethics it underscores the seriousness of intentional sin, especially in matters of sexual immorality or calculated injustice. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun (absolute). In the cited forms it appears with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in/with"), but the lexical form is singular and feminine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun זִמָּה derives from זָמַם, "to plan or devise," frequently in a negative sense. "Plotting-wickedness" preserves the root idea of intentional scheming while reflecting the feminine singular abstract noun form (Ncfsa) as a singular act or instance of deliberately devised evil. |
