SIBI-P1 H2040-29
he tears her down
| Root | הרס (h-r-s) |
| Core Meanings | pull down, break down, demolish, overthrow, tear down, ruin |
| Semantic Range | to demolish a structure, overthrow a city or altar, break down walls, ruin or destroy objects or institutions, tear apart physically or figuratively |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of divine or human judgment in which cities, altars, or strongholds are dismantled. The root conveys decisive removal of what stands, whether in covenant judgment, warfare, or the eradication of idolatry. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect 3ms (יֶהֶרְסֶ) with 3fs pronominal suffix (־נָּה), from the root הרס. The imperfect form can denote future or habitual action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular with a 3rd feminine singular suffix, indicating “he” as the subject and “her” as the object. “Tears down” preserves the root sense of demolishing or pulling apart, while “her” accurately reflects the feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
