SIBI-P1 H4650-01
a shatterer
| Root | פוץ (p-w-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | scatter, disperse, shatter, break apart, cause to spread |
| Semantic Range | scatterer, disperser, breaker, shatterer; by extension a club, maul, or weapon used to smash or break apart |
| Conceptual Significance | In prophetic and poetic texts, such a term can symbolize an instrument of divine judgment—an agent used to scatter nations or shatter opposition—emphasizing YHWH’s sovereignty in breaking and dispersing peoples or powers. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular absolute noun (HNcmsa), likely derived from a Hiphil participial form of פוץ, functioning substantively to denote an agent or instrument of scattering/shattering. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root פוץ, meaning "to scatter" or "to shatter." As a masculine singular absolute form (functioning as a substantive, likely from a Hiphil participle), it denotes an agent or instrument that causes scattering or breaking; thus "a shatterer" preserves both the causative force of the root and the singular grammatical form. |
