SIBI-P1 H3289-11
he has counseled
| Root | יעץ (y-ʿ-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | counsel, advice, deliberation, planning, purpose |
| Semantic Range | to advise, give counsel, deliberate, plan, determine, resolve, purpose; reflexively, to consult or deliberate within oneself. |
| Conceptual Significance | The verb often describes wise counsel from leaders, sages, or kings, but also the purposeful counsel of YHWH. It underscores the weight of deliberate planning and the authority behind counsel, whether human or divine, shaping communal and covenantal destiny. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal stem, perfect (qatal) conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular; active voice expressing completed action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a completed action performed by a male subject: "he has counseled." The rendering preserves the root idea of giving counsel or deliberate advice while accurately reflecting the masculine singular subject and completed aspect. |
