poverty
| Root | רושׁ (r-w-š) |
| Core Meanings | to be poor, to be impoverished, to lack, to be dispossessed |
| Semantic Range | poverty, impoverishment, destitution, lack of material resources, state of deprivation |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical context, רִישׁ highlights the social and covenantal concern for the economically vulnerable. Poverty is not merely material lack but often reflects social injustice, dependence, and the need for divine and communal compassion. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no pronominal suffix or construct relationship indicated in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form רִישׁ is a masculine singular absolute noun derived from the root רושׁ, meaning "to be poor" or "to be impoverished." Rendering it as "poverty" preserves the core idea of a state of impoverishment while accurately reflecting its masculine singular absolute form without added suffixes or modifiers. |
