SIBI-P1
to the stealing man
| Root | גנב (g-n-b) |
| Core Meanings | to steal, to carry off secretly, to take by stealth |
| Semantic Range | thief, robber (by stealth), one who steals property, metaphorically one who acts deceitfully or unlawfully |
| Conceptual Significance | The term highlights covenantal and social violations within Israel’s law, as theft breaches both communal trust and divine command. It reflects the moral order in which secret taking is exposed and judged by YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun common masculine singular absolute (גַּנָּב). The noun is a substantive formation from the verbal root גנב. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גַּנָּב derives from the root גנב, "to steal," and denotes one characterized by stealing. The form is masculine singular absolute with the prefixed preposition לַ ("to the"), so the rendering "to the stealing man" preserves the definite article, the masculine singular sense, and the root idea of active theft. |
