SIBI-P1 H8446-01
the ones lifting high
| Root | רום (r-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | height, elevation, rising, lifting up, exaltation |
| Semantic Range | to be high, rise, lift up, exalt, raise, set on high, offer up, promote, become lofty or proud |
| Conceptual Significance | The root רום frequently conveys elevation—both physical and metaphorical—describing height, exaltation, and divine lifting up. It can express YHWH’s exalted status, the raising of offerings, or human pride, linking spatial height with honor, authority, and spiritual condition. |
| Morphological Notes | Primarily Qal active participle masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַתָּרִים). One form appears as Hiphil imperfect 2ms with interrogative prefix (הֲתָרִים), expressing a causative question. |
| Rendering Rationale | The predominant form הַתָּרִים is a Qal active participle masculine plural with the definite article, literally "the ones who lift up" or "the ones rising high." Rendering it as "the ones lifting high" preserves both the active sense of the Qal stem and the masculine plural form. One occurrence reflects a Hiphil imperfect 2ms ("will you cause to rise?"), maintaining the causative force of the root in that context. |
