SIBI-P1 H7910-03
intoxicated man
| Root | שׁכר (sh-k-r) |
| Core Meanings | to become drunk, to be intoxicated, drunkenness |
| Semantic Range | drunk, intoxicated, drunken man, habitual drunkard; one under the influence of wine or strong drink, whether temporarily or characteristically |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, the intoxicated man often represents moral looseness, impaired judgment, and vulnerability. Drunkenness can symbolize both literal excess and spiritual stupor, contrasting sobriety with watchfulness and covenant faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute; frequently used substantively to denote a drunken individual. Derived from the verbal root שׁכר (Qal: to be drunk). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective שִׁכּוֹר derives from the root שׁכר, "to be drunk" or "to become intoxicated." The form is masculine singular absolute (HAamsa), and is often used substantively, so "intoxicated man" preserves both the adjectival sense of being in a state of drunkenness and the masculine singular grammatical form. |
