SIBI-P1 H3518-02
she will be extinguished
| Root | כבה (k-b-h) |
| Core Meanings | to go out, to be extinguished, to expire, to quench |
| Semantic Range | to go out (of fire or lamp), to be quenched, to be extinguished, to die down (of anger), to fade or expire |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of fire, lamps, or divine wrath, this verb evokes the imagery of life, judgment, or presence either continuing or ceasing. In biblical theology, an unextinguished fire can symbolize enduring judgment or divine holiness, while an extinguished flame can signify judgment completed, life ended, or zeal diminished. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd feminine singular from כבה. The form denotes incomplete or future action with a feminine singular subject, often referring to a feminine noun such as fire (אֵשׁ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root כבה carries the image of a fire or light going out or being quenched. In the Qal imperfect 3rd feminine singular, the verb describes a feminine subject that will undergo extinguishing; "she will be extinguished" preserves both the intransitive sense of the Qal stem and the feminine singular grammar. |
