SIBI-P1 H2054-01
and an estranged one
| Root | זור (z-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | to turn aside, to be estranged, to become foreign, to be alienated |
| Semantic Range | foreign, alien, outsider, unauthorized person, stranger, one estranged or turned aside |
| Conceptual Significance | This word often marks covenantal and cultic boundaries—distinguishing those within the covenant community from those outside it. It can denote not merely ethnic foreignness but relational or spiritual estrangement from YHWH and His holy order. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to a masculine singular absolute adjective (זָר). The form functions adjectivally or substantivally to describe a single male subject characterized by estrangement or foreignness. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a masculine singular absolute adjective from the root זור (to turn aside, be estranged), with a prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). Rendering it as “an estranged one” preserves the masculine singular form while reflecting the root idea of one who has turned aside or stands alienated. |
