SIBI-P1 H3201-15
they proved able
| Root | יכל (y-k-l) |
| Core Meanings | ability, capacity, power to prevail, endurance |
| Semantic Range | to be able, to have capacity, to prevail, to overcome, to endure, to have power, to accomplish what is attempted |
| Conceptual Significance | יכל often marks the boundary between human limitation and divine power—highlighting whether individuals or nations have the strength or authority to accomplish something. It frequently underscores the contrast between human inability and YHWH’s unmatched capacity to prevail. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect (completed aspect), 3rd person common plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יכל conveys the idea of ability or prevailing power. In the Qal perfect 3rd common plural, the form expresses a completed action by a plural subject, hence "they proved able," reflecting both the simple active stem and the past, collective action. |
