SIBI-P1 H2505-03
a smooth one
| Root | חלק (ḥ-l-q) |
| Core Meanings | smoothness, slipperiness, division, apportioning, flattery |
| Semantic Range | smooth (literal surface), slippery, flattering (smooth speech), dividing, apportioning, distributing |
| Conceptual Significance | The root links physical smoothness with metaphorical smoothness in speech—hence flattery. In biblical thought, what is "smooth" can be deceptive, contrasting with uprightness and integrity, and also connects to the practice of dividing or allotting portions (as with lots). |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). From the root ח־ל־ק, which in verbal forms (Qal) means "to be smooth" or "to apportion/divide." |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective form (masculine singular absolute) derives from the root idea of smoothness. Rendering it as "a smooth one" preserves the core sense of smoothness while reflecting the masculine singular form indicated in the morphology (HAamsa). |
