she has slaughtered

Rootטבח (ṭ-b-ḥ)
Core Meaningsslaughtering, butchering, ritual killing, violent killing
Semantic Rangeto slaughter animals for food or sacrifice, to butcher, to slay persons violently, to execute
Conceptual SignificanceThe root often conveys intentional, hands-on killing, whether in sacrificial, domestic, or violent contexts. It can highlight the gravity or deliberateness of the act, underscoring themes of judgment, provision, or bloodshed in biblical narrative.
Morphological NotesVerb in Qal stem (simple active), perfect tense, 3rd person feminine singular. Denotes a completed act performed by a female subject.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal perfect 3rd feminine singular form indicates a completed action performed by a feminine singular subject, hence "she has slaughtered." The rendering preserves the root idea of deliberate slaughter or butchering inherent in טבח, rather than a more general term like "killed."
