and he opened up
| Root | פתח (p-t-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | opening, widening, loosening, unsealing, carving, initiating |
| Semantic Range | to open, open wide, unseal, loosen, carve, engrave, initiate, begin, release |
| Conceptual Significance | פתח frequently marks moments of revelation, access, or initiation—whether the opening of mouths, doors, heavens, or engraved inscriptions. It often signals the removal of barriers and the making accessible of what was concealed or enclosed. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ plus Piel perfect 3ms from פתח. The Piel stem often intensifies the action, here indicating deliberate or forceful opening (including carving/engraving). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root פתח fundamentally conveys the act of opening or widening. In the Piel stem (intensive/active), it can denote forceful or deliberate opening, including carving or engraving. The form is Piel perfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed conjunction, hence "and he opened up," preserving both the intensive nuance and the masculine singular subject. |
