to badness
| Root | רעע (r-ʿ-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | badness, evil, harm, injury, adversity, brokenness |
| Semantic Range | moral evil, misfortune, calamity, harm, injury, adversity, unpleasantness, what is disagreeable or detrimental |
| Conceptual Significance | רַע expresses both moral evil and experiential adversity in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting a worldview in which wrongdoing and calamity are intertwined aspects of covenant life. Its use with לְ often marks movement or orientation toward harm, whether in intent, consequence, or divine judgment. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לָ (lamed with qamats) prefixed to רַע; masculine singular absolute (adjective or substantive noun). Functions adverbially or as a prepositional complement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition לָ ("to/for") attached to רַע, a masculine singular adjective/noun meaning "bad, evil, harmful" from the root רעע (to be bad, to cause harm). Rendering it as "to badness" preserves the singular masculine form and keeps the abstract sense of the root rather than flattening it into a purely moral category. |
