SIBI-P1 H3477-10
and straight
| Root | ישׁר (y-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | straightness, levelness, uprightness, rightness, equity |
| Semantic Range | straight (literal), upright, just, right, equitable, proper, fitting |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, what is "straight" is morally aligned with YHWH’s will—free from crookedness or deviation. The term links physical straightness with ethical integrity, expressing covenant faithfulness and right conduct before God. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to adjective יָשָׁר; masculine singular absolute (Aamsa). No pronominal suffix; agrees with a masculine singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective יָשָׁר (masculine singular absolute) describes one who is straight or upright, reflecting the root idea of straightness as a metaphor for moral integrity. The conjunction וְ adds "and," and the singular form is preserved in the simple adjectival rendering "straight." |
