a falsehood
| Root | שקר (š-q-r) |
| Core Meanings | falsehood, deception, lying, betrayal of truth |
| Semantic Range | lie, falsehood, deception, fraud, sham, vanity, wrongful action, groundless accusation |
| Conceptual Significance | שֶׁקֶר represents not merely incorrect speech but a moral breach of covenantal truth. In the biblical worldview, falsehood stands opposed to faithfulness and integrity, undermining justice, trust, and right relationship within the covenant community. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). No article or pronominal suffix; functions as a simple singular substantive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֶׁקֶר is a masculine singular absolute form, so it is rendered as the singular "a falsehood." This preserves the core sense of the root שקר—dealing falsely or speaking untruth—while accurately reflecting the singular grammatical form. |
