SIBI-P1 H5826-16
to give help
| Root | עזר (ʿ-z-r) |
| Core Meanings | help, support, aid, protection, assistance |
| Semantic Range | to help, assist, support, come to the aid of, provide protection or reinforcement |
| Conceptual Significance | The root עזר is central to biblical theology of dependence and deliverance, frequently describing YHWH as Israel’s helper (עֵזֶר). It conveys not mere sympathy but active intervention and strengthening support in times of need. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive construct (Vqc) with prefixed ל preposition; no gender, number, or person marking; expresses purpose or result (“to help”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל (“to”), expressing the verbal idea in its simplest active sense: “to give help.” Rendering it as “to give help” preserves the concrete sense of the root עזר as active assistance or support, rather than a vague abstraction. |
