SIBI-P1 H7686-03
one causing to stray
| Root | שׁגה (š-g-h) |
| Core Meanings | straying, wandering, erring, going astray, being misled, intoxicated reeling |
| Semantic Range | one who misleads, one who leads astray, deceiver, one who causes error or moral wandering, one who causes another to sin unintentionally or through confusion |
| Conceptual Significance | This term highlights the serious covenantal danger of being led away from the right path—whether intellectually, morally, or spiritually. In biblical thought, to "cause to stray" threatens communal faithfulness to יהוה, making the "one causing to stray" a destabilizing and spiritually hazardous figure. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil participle, masculine singular absolute, from שׁגה. The Hiphil stem gives a causative nuance: "to cause to wander/err." As a participle, it functions substantivally, describing a person characterized by this action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Hiphil masculine singular participle, which conveys a causative action: not merely "straying," but "causing to stray." Rendering it as "one causing to stray" preserves both the root sense of wandering/erring and the active, causative force of the Hiphil stem in a singular masculine form. |
