| Root | נתן (n-t-n) |
| Core Meanings | giving, placing, setting, granting, handing over |
| Semantic Range | to give, grant, bestow, hand over, place, set, appoint, assign, deliver, permit, cause, produce |
| Conceptual Significance | נתן is one of the most theologically significant verbs in the Hebrew Bible, frequently describing YHWH as the one who gives covenant, land, law, blessing, and deliverance. It expresses divine generosity, authority in assigning roles and destinies, and the transfer of responsibility or possession within covenantal relationships. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem (simple active), perfect aspect, 3rd person masculine singular. The perfect denotes a completed action in past narrative or a present state resulting from prior action, depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject, hence "he gave." The rendering preserves the core root sense of giving or placing something into another’s possession or sphere. |
