| Root | קום (q-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | rising, standing, establishing, enduring, coming into effect |
| Semantic Range | to rise physically, to stand up, to arise against, to come into being, to be established, to endure, to take effect, to be fulfilled, to persist |
| Conceptual Significance | קום is a foundational biblical verb describing physical rising, the emergence of leaders or enemies, the establishment of covenants or words, and the enduring faithfulness of divine promises. It often signals decisive action, divine intervention, or the confirmation of what has been spoken. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal stem; perfect (suffix conjugation); 3rd person masculine singular. Indicates completed action in past or narrative sequence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed action by a male subject: "he." The rendering "he rose up" preserves the root sense of rising or standing (קום) while reflecting the simple active (Qal) stem and singular masculine subject. |
