SIBI-P1 H3256-35
one who disciplines
| Root | יסר (y-s-r) |
| Core Meanings | discipline, correction, chastening, instruction through restraint, reform |
| Semantic Range | to chasten physically, to rebuke verbally, to correct, to instruct through discipline, to reform, to train morally |
| Conceptual Significance | The root יסר expresses covenantal discipline—correction intended not merely to punish but to instruct and restore. It reflects the biblical view that true instruction often involves corrective guidance aimed at moral formation and covenant faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal participle, masculine singular, absolute. Functions substantivally to describe a person characterized by the act of disciplining or correcting. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal participle masculine singular form denotes an ongoing or characteristic action: "one who disciplines." This rendering preserves the root idea of corrective discipline (often involving both rebuke and instruction) while reflecting the masculine singular participial morphology. |
