SIBI-P1 H2509-01

and smooth (one)

Rootחלק (ḥ-l-q)
Core Meaningssmoothness, slipperiness, flattery, slickness
Semantic Rangephysically smooth, slippery; figuratively smooth-tongued, flattering, deceitfully pleasant
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, "smoothness" frequently characterizes deceptive or flattering speech, contrasting integrity with manipulative persuasion. The term thus carries moral weight, warning against outwardly pleasant but inwardly false words.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to an adjective, masculine singular absolute (Ams). No comparative morphology; any comparative sense is contextual.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective חָלָק derives from the root חלק, conveying the idea of smoothness or slipperiness, often metaphorically of speech (flattery). The form is masculine singular absolute with a prefixed conjunction, so it is rendered "and smooth (one)," preserving both the root sense and the masculine singular grammar.
