SIBI-P1 H213-01
he pressed on; a pressing one (masculine singular)
| Root | אוץ (ʾ-w-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | pressing, urgency, haste, constriction, compulsion |
| Semantic Range | to hasten, hurry, press forward, urge, compel, act with urgency, be pressed or constrained |
| Conceptual Significance | This root expresses urgency or compulsion, often highlighting human impatience or energetic action. In biblical contexts it can underscore the contrast between rash haste and patient trust, or emphasize zealous movement driven by inner or external pressure. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb in the Qal stem. Attested as Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular (completed action: "he pressed on") and Qal participle masculine singular absolute ("pressing one"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אוץ conveys the idea of pressing or urging forward, hence haste or urgency. The Qal perfect 3ms form is rendered "he pressed on," reflecting a completed action by a third masculine singular subject, while the Qal masculine singular participle is rendered "a pressing one," preserving both the active sense of the root and the masculine singular grammatical form. |
