SIBI-P1 H200-01
his foolishness
| Root | אול (ʾ-w-l) |
| Core Meanings | foolishness, senselessness, moral perversity, stubborn irrationality |
| Semantic Range | folly, foolishness, senseless behavior, moral perversity, reckless disregard for wisdom |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, אִוֶּלֶת represents more than intellectual deficiency; it denotes a moral and spiritual deficiency opposed to wisdom (חָכְמָה). "His foolishness" often signals personal culpability, highlighting the destructive consequences of rejecting covenantal wisdom and righteous instruction. |
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in construct form (אִוַּלְתּ־) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ). The construct binds the abstract noun to its possessor. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אִוֶּלֶת is a feminine singular noun meaning "foolishness" or "folly," derived from the root אול (to be foolish). The form here is feminine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, literally "the foolishness of him," hence "his foolishness," preserving both the gender/number and the possessive suffix. |
