Rootשׁוב (š-w-b)
Core Meaningsturning, returning, reversing direction, going back, restoring
Semantic Rangeto turn back, return, go back, come back, restore, bring back, repent, reverse, withdraw, answer again, do again
Conceptual Significanceשׁוב is central to biblical theology of repentance and restoration, describing both physical return (from exile or battle) and spiritual turning back to יהוה. It conveys covenantal reversal—from estrangement to renewed relationship—highlighting divine mercy and human response.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from שׁוב; denotes incomplete, future, habitual, or modal action by a masculine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem expresses the simple action of the root שׁוב, "to turn/return." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates a future or incomplete action performed by a masculine singular subject, hence "he will turn back," preserving both the core idea of turning and the grammatical details.
