SIBI-P1 H3477-13
upright
| Root | ישׁר (y-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | straightness, uprightness, rightness, levelness, equity |
| Semantic Range | Straight, level, right, upright, just, equitable, morally ישר (straight in conduct), pleasing or fitting in context. |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of ישר expresses the biblical ideal of moral alignment with YHWH’s will—life lived in straightness rather than crookedness. It conveys integrity, ethical rectitude, and covenantal faithfulness, often contrasted with perversion or deceit. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, absolute form (HAamsc). Derived from the root ישׁר, functioning attributively or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective יְשַׁר is masculine singular absolute, describing a single masculine noun or functioning substantivally for an upright man. "Upright" preserves the root sense of straightness applied metaphorically to moral rightness, reflecting both the core imagery of the root and the masculine singular form. |
