SIBI-P1 Translation H7451-19
to badness
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ + adjective masculine singular absolute from רַע (root רעע). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective רַע in masculine singular absolute denotes what is bad, evil, or harmful in quality. With the prefixed לְ ("to/for"), it expresses direction or orientation, thus "to badness," preserving the root sense of being bad or harmful without narrowing it to a specific context. |
