SIBI-P1 H1540-70
and he exiled
| Root | גלה (g-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | to uncover, lay bare, expose, remove, exile, reveal |
| Semantic Range | to uncover or expose physically; to reveal information; to remove or carry away; to deport into exile; to depart into exile (intransitive in some contexts). |
| Conceptual Significance | גלה often marks moments of judgment, shame, or divine discipline, especially in the exile traditions of Israel and Judah. The movement from "uncovering" to "exiling" reflects the cultural reality that conquest involved both stripping and displacement, making the term theologically charged in discussions of covenant faithfulness and national restoration. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, wayyiqtol (waw-consecutive imperfect) 3rd masculine singular; narrative past tense with active voice. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal wayyiqtol 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed past action in narrative sequence: "and he exiled." The rendering preserves the active force of the Qal stem and reflects the root idea of laying bare or stripping away, which in historical contexts extends to the removal of people into exile. |
