SIBI-P1 H200-03
according to his foolishness
| Root | אול (ʾ-w-l) |
| Core Meanings | foolishness, senselessness, moral perversity, lack of wisdom |
| Semantic Range | folly, foolishness, senseless behavior, moral perversity, reckless disregard for wisdom |
| Conceptual Significance | אִוֶּלֶת expresses not mere intellectual deficiency but a moral and spiritual failure to live in wisdom and covenant faithfulness. In wisdom literature it characterizes behavior that rejects instruction and invites ruin, standing in sharp contrast to חָכְמָה (wisdom). |
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun (אִוֶּלֶת) in construct form with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־וֹ), preceded by the preposition כְּ ("according to/as"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אִוֶּלֶת denotes foolishness rooted in the character of a fool (אֱוִיל). The feminine singular noun in construct with a 3ms suffix ("his") and prefixed כְּ ("according to") is faithfully represented as "according to his foolishness," preserving both the possessive form and the core sense of moral folly. |
