SIBI-P1 H7194-05
bound (feminine singular)
| Root | קשר (q-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | binding, tying, fastening, joining, conspiring, forming alliances |
| Semantic Range | physically tied or fastened; bound up (as wounds); joined or attached; allied; involved in conspiracy depending on context |
| Conceptual Significance | The root conveys the idea of binding together, whether physically (as cords or wounds), relationally (alliances), or politically (conspiracy). In biblical thought, such binding can signify covenantal loyalty or, negatively, treacherous plotting, reflecting the power of joined commitments. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal passive participle, feminine singular absolute. Functions adjectivally or substantivally to describe a feminine noun as being in a state of having been bound or tied. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal passive participle feminine singular from קָשַׁר (to bind, tie, join). "Bound" preserves the core idea of being tied or fastened, while the feminine singular reflects the grammatical form indicated by the morphology (Vqsfsa). |
