Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(27) Shall save his soul alive.--This does not mean that any man can by his own power save himself, for that question is not here in view at all, but that the consequence of a certain course of conduct will be his salvation, and that the adoption of that course is within the man's own choice.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBut if a wicked manרָשָׁ֗ע (rā·šā‘)Adjective - masculine singularStrong's 7563: Wrong, an, bad personturnsוּבְשׁ֣וּב (ū·ḇə·šūḇ)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 7725: To turn back, in, to retreat, againfrom the wickednessמֵֽרִשְׁעָתוֹ֙ (mê·riš·‘ā·ṯōw)Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 7564: Wickednesshe has committedעָשָׂ֔ה (‘ā·śāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 6213: To do, makeand doesוַיַּ֥עַשׂ (way·ya·‘aś)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 6213: To do, makewhat is justמִשְׁפָּ֖ט (miš·pāṭ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4941: A verdict, a sentence, formal decree, divine law, penalty, justice, privilege, styleand right,וּצְדָקָ֑ה (ū·ṣə·ḏā·qāh)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 6666: Rightness, subjectively, objectivelyheה֖וּא (hū)Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, arewill saveיְחַיֶּֽה׃ (yə·ḥay·yeh)Verb - Piel - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2421: To live, to revivehis life.נַפְשׁ֥וֹ (nap̄·šōw)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 5315: A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion Jump to PreviousAlive Committed Evil Evil-Doer Justice Lawful Ordered Practices Right Righteousness Save Soul Turneth Turning Turns Wicked Wickedness
