and overflow of
| Root | שטף (sh-ṭ-p) |
| Core Meanings | to overflow, inundate, wash away, sweep over, surge |
| Semantic Range | deluge, flood, overwhelming force, torrent, figurative outburst (such as of anger or destruction) |
| Conceptual Significance | שֶׁטֶף often conveys overwhelming force—whether literal flooding or metaphorical judgment—depicting divine or natural power that sweeps away resistance. It underscores themes of suddenness, totality, and irresistible movement in biblical imagery. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc) with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). The construct form indicates possession or close association with a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֶׁטֶף derives from the root שטף, conveying the idea of surging or washing over. As a masculine singular construct noun (Ncmsc) prefixed with וְ (“and”), it properly renders as "and overflow of," preserving both its singular form and its grammatical function linking it to a following noun. |
