SIBI-P1 Translation H3079-02
YHWH establishes
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name; theophoric compound of YHWH + verbal form from קום (imperfect 3ms sense). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the divine name YHWH with the verb קום in a verbal form meaning "he will raise/establish," yielding the declarative sense "YHWH establishes." This preserves the root sense of rising or establishing and reflects the theophoric verbal construction of the proper name. |
