Is he able?
| Root | יכל (y-k-l) |
| Core Meanings | ability, capacity, power, prevail, endure, overcome |
| Semantic Range | to be able, to have power, to prevail, to endure, to overcome, to have capacity or permission |
| Conceptual Significance | יכל often probes human or divine capacity—whether one has the strength, authority, or power to act. When used of יהוה, it underscores His prevailing might; when used of humans, it highlights dependence and limitation before divine power. |
| Morphological Notes | Interrogative prefix הֲ attached to Qal active participle masculine singular absolute of יכל. Functions as a verbal predicate in a yes/no question. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יכל expresses ability or prevailing power. The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular with the prefixed interrogative הֲ, thus literally "the one being able?" In context it functions verbally, so "Is he able?" preserves both the root sense of capacity and the masculine singular morphology. |
