one cutting off

Root	קצה (q-ṣ-h)
Core Meanings	cutting off, severing, ending, destroying, scraping away
Semantic Range	to cut off physically, to sever or remove, to bring to an end, to destroy or eliminate, to scrape off partially
Conceptual Significance	The act of "cutting off" often carries covenantal and judicial weight in the Hebrew Bible, describing removal from a people, destruction in judgment, or decisive separation. It reflects the seriousness of divine or communal severance.
Morphological Notes	Piel active participle, masculine singular absolute (HVprmsa). The doubled צ (dagesh) reflects the intensive Piel stem. As a participle, it functions verbally or substantivally: "one who cuts off."
Rendering Rationale	The form מְקַצֶּה is a masculine singular active participle (Piel), indicating an ongoing or characteristic action. "One cutting off" preserves the core root meaning of severing or removing while accurately reflecting the masculine singular participial form.
