SIBI-P1 H3988-11
you spurn
| Root | מאס (m-ʾ-s) |
| Core Meanings | rejection, spurning, disdain, loathing, refusal |
| Semantic Range | to reject, refuse, spurn, despise, treat as worthless, cast off, or regard as loathsome; in some contexts, to waste away or be rejected. |
| Conceptual Significance | מאס often describes covenantal rejection—whether humans spurning YHWH, His instruction, or His anointed, or YHWH rejecting a people or king. It carries relational and moral weight, signaling not mere dislike but a decisive act of repudiation within the covenant framework. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem; imperfect (yiqtol) 2nd person masculine singular, with some occurrences functioning as jussive. Denotes simple active voice directed toward a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מאס conveys active rejection or spurning with disdain. The form is Qal imperfect (and in some occurrences jussive) second masculine singular, which is reflected in the rendering "you spurn," preserving both the verbal action and the singular masculine addressee. |
