SIBI-P1 H2154-05
devised-scheme of
| Root | זמם (z-m-m) |
| Core Meanings | to plan, devise, purpose, scheme, plot |
| Semantic Range | plan, scheme, device, wicked plot, lewd act, heinous crime, premeditated wrongdoing |
| Conceptual Significance | זִמָּה emphasizes deliberate and often morally corrupt intention, highlighting premeditated evil rather than accidental sin. In biblical contexts it frequently refers to calculated wickedness, especially in matters of sexual immorality or social injustice, underscoring the seriousness of intentional moral corruption. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular construct (HNcfsc); from זִמָּה (zimmâh), derived from the verb זמם in the Qal stem. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun זִמָּה derives from the root זמם, "to devise or plan," often with malicious intent. The feminine singular construct form (HNcfsc) requires a rendering that shows possession or relation, hence "of," while preserving the singular sense of a single devised scheme. |
