and in celebrating with praise
| Root | הלל (h-l-l) |
| Core Meanings | shining, radiance, boastful display, praise, celebration |
| Semantic Range | to shine, to make a show, to boast, to celebrate, to extol, to praise publicly, to act foolishly or wildly (in other stems or contexts) |
| Conceptual Significance | הלל is the root behind "hallelujah" and expresses the act of making YHWH’s glory shine forth through vocal, communal praise. It reflects the biblical theme that worship is a public proclamation of divine radiance and renown. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from הלל in the Piel stem; infinitive construct (VinfC) with prefixed waw conjunction and ב preposition ("and in/when"). No gender, number, or person marking due to infinitive form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Piel infinitive construct with prefixed conjunction ("and") and preposition ("in"). The Piel stem carries an intensive or declarative force, so "celebrating with praise" preserves the root idea of making something shine forth through public exaltation, rather than a simple inward feeling. |
