SIBI-P1 H5128-03

she has caused to sway

Rootנוע (n-w-ʿ)
Core Meaningsmovement, wavering, shaking, wandering, instability, restless motion
Semantic Rangeto cause to shake, set in motion, make wander, drive away, agitate, scatter, cause to stagger or reel
Conceptual SignificanceThe root often conveys instability—physical, social, or spiritual. In biblical thought, to cause something to "sway" or "wander" can imply disruption of established order, exile, or divine judgment, highlighting the contrast between steadfastness and instability.
Morphological NotesHiphil (causative) perfect 3rd feminine singular from נוע. The form indicates completed action performed by a feminine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe root נוע conveys motion, wavering, or restless movement. In the Hiphil stem it takes a causative sense, meaning "to cause to move or shake." The perfect 3rd feminine singular form is reflected in "she has caused," preserving both the causative force and the feminine singular subject.
