SIBI-P1 H7326-02
a dispossessed man
| Root | ירשׁ (y-r-sh) |
| Core Meanings | to dispossess, to take possession, to inherit, to drive out, to impoverish |
| Semantic Range | to dispossess, to inherit, to seize possession; by extension to be deprived, impoverished, reduced to poverty; one who is poor or destitute |
| Conceptual Significance | This term reflects the covenantal reality that loss of land or inheritance—central to Israel’s identity—results in poverty and social vulnerability. It underscores the theological link between land possession, divine blessing, and human flourishing in the biblical worldview. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular absolute form functioning substantivally; describes a man marked by dispossession or poverty. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is masculine singular absolute, referring to one characterized by the condition expressed by the root. Rendering it "a dispossessed man" preserves the core idea of being driven out or deprived of inheritance, which in extended usage results in poverty, while accurately reflecting the masculine singular morphology. |
