SIBI-P1 H6298-01
they encountered one another
| Root | פגש (p-g-sh) |
| Core Meanings | encounter, meeting, coming into contact, confrontation, collision |
| Semantic Range | to meet, encounter, confront, collide with, fall upon, intercede with, come face to face |
| Conceptual Significance | The verb often marks decisive or divinely arranged encounters in the biblical narrative—meetings that may bring blessing, conflict, reconciliation, or judgment—highlighting the significance of human and divine appointments in Israel’s story. |
| Morphological Notes | Nifal stem (passive/reflexive/reciprocal), perfect (completed action), 3rd person common plural. The Nifal here most naturally expresses reciprocal action: "they met each other." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root פגש conveys the idea of coming into contact or encountering, whether peacefully or forcefully. In the Nifal perfect 3rd common plural, the verb carries a passive or reciprocal nuance, appropriately rendered as "they encountered one another," preserving both the reciprocal sense and the plural subject. |
