SIBI-P1 H833-02
one made-straight
| Root | אשר (ʾ-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | straightness, rightness, levelness, forward movement, blessedness, happiness |
| Semantic Range | made straight, set right, blessed, happy, fortunate, one who is in a right or prosperous state |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, blessedness is not merely emotional happiness but the condition of being aligned with what is straight and right before God. The term reflects a state of having been set in proper order, resulting in well-being and flourishing. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from root אשר in the Pual stem; participle, masculine singular absolute. The Pual conveys a passive-intensive sense: "having been made straight/right." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מְאֻשָּׁר is a Pual participle masculine singular, expressing a passive-intensive state. Rendering it as "one made-straight" preserves the root idea of being set straight or made right, from which the sense of blessedness or happiness flows, while reflecting the masculine singular participial form. |
