SIBI-P1 H6588-01

by rebellion

Rootפשע (p-sh-ʿ)
Core Meaningsrevolt, rebellion, breach of relationship, willful transgression
Semantic Rangerebellion, revolt, transgression, trespass, breach of covenant, willful sin against authority (human or divine)
Conceptual Significanceפֶּשַׁע often denotes covenantal rebellion—an intentional breach of loyalty toward יהוה or rightful authority. It emphasizes not merely error but defiant rupture of relationship, highlighting the seriousness of covenant violation in Israel’s theological framework.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ (“by/in”) prefixed to a masculine singular noun (Ncmsc). Though tagged as construct, it functions here without a following genitive, conveying a singular instance or state of rebellion.
Rendering RationaleThe noun פֶּשַׁע (peshaʿ) derives from the root פשע, conveying the idea of revolt or willful breach of loyalty. The prefixed בְּ indicates instrumentality or circumstance (“by” or “in”), and the form is masculine singular; thus “by rebellion” preserves both the singular sense and the root idea of active revolt rather than a generic mistake.
