SIBI-P1 H3515-02
weighty
| Root | כבד (k-b-d) |
| Core Meanings | weight, heaviness, density, honor, importance, severity |
| Semantic Range | physically heavy, burdensome, severe, grievous, difficult, dense, dull, numerous, rich, honored, important |
| Conceptual Significance | The root כבד connects physical weight with social and theological significance. In the Hebrew Bible, what is "weighty" carries substance and consequence—whether describing sin as grievous, judgment as severe, wealth as abundant, or glory (כבוד) as the weighty manifestation of divine presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute form from the root כבד. Used predicatively or attributively to describe something as heavy, burdensome, severe, or significant. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective is masculine singular absolute (HAamsa), so the rendering reflects a singular descriptive quality. "Weighty" preserves the core root idea of heaviness (כבד) while allowing for both literal heaviness and figurative senses such as importance, severity, or honor, all of which derive from the concept of weight. |
