SIBI-P1 H3240-04
he caused to rest
| Root | ינח (y-n-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | resting, settling, depositing, placing, causing to remain |
| Semantic Range | to set down, deposit, lay aside, leave behind, allow to remain, grant rest, pacify, withdraw, withhold |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb often expresses the granting of rest or the act of setting something in its proper place. Theologically, it can describe YHWH granting rest to His people, placing His name in a location, or causing burdens or wrath to settle, highlighting divine sovereignty in establishing order and repose. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil verb, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd masculine singular. The Hiphil stem gives a causative nuance: to cause to rest, set down, or leave in place. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יָנַח carries the sense of causing something to rest, settle, or be deposited. In the Hiphil stem it is causative, and the morphology (perfect 3rd masculine singular) requires the rendering "he caused to rest," preserving both the causative force and the masculine singular subject. |
