SIBI-P1 H898-26
a treacherous man
| Root | בגד (b-g-d) |
| Core Meanings | covering, acting covertly, betrayal, treachery, unfaithfulness |
| Semantic Range | to act deceitfully, betray trust, deal treacherously, be unfaithful (in covenant or relationship), pillage or act covertly against another |
| Conceptual Significance | The root בגד often describes covenant betrayal—whether marital, social, or covenantal with יהוה. It conveys not merely wrongdoing but faithlessness disguised under a veneer of loyalty, highlighting the gravity of broken trust in biblical theology. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute (בֹגֵד). Functions substantivally: "one who deals treacherously." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes "one who acts treacherously." Rendering it "a treacherous man" preserves the active sense of ongoing deceit rooted in בגד (to act covertly or betray) while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form. |
