SIBI-P1 H7311-16
they caused to rise high
| Root | רום (r-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | height, elevation, exaltation, rising, loftiness |
| Semantic Range | to raise up physically, to lift or hoist, to exalt or promote, to elevate status, to offer up, to levy or set apart, to make lofty or proud |
| Conceptual Significance | The root רום often conveys both physical elevation and social or divine exaltation. In biblical theology, raising up can describe offering sacrifices, exalting leaders, or YHWH elevating His people, linking physical height with honor, authority, and divine action. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) perfect 3rd common plural from רוּם; denotes that "they" performed the action of causing something to rise or be exalted. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Hiphil perfect 3rd common plural, indicating a completed causative action performed by "they." Rendering it as "they caused to rise high" preserves both the root idea of elevation (רום, height/exaltation) and the causative force of the Hiphil stem. |
