SIBI-P1 H1420-01
the greatness
| Root | גדל (g-d-l) |
| Core Meanings | to be great, to grow, to become large, to magnify, to make great |
| Semantic Range | greatness, magnitude, majesty, dignity, greatness of deeds, mighty acts, exalted status |
| Conceptual Significance | גְּדוּלָה often denotes the manifest greatness of יהוה—His majesty, mighty acts, and exalted status. It expresses not merely size but revealed supremacy and honor, highlighting divine sovereignty and the visible outworking of covenantal power. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). Derived from the adjective גָּדוֹל (“great”), itself from the root גדל. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גְּדוּלָה is a feminine singular abstract noun derived from the root גדל (“to be great, to grow”). The prefixed הַ marks it as definite, hence “the.” Rendering it as “the greatness” preserves both the core idea of greatness inherent in the root and the feminine singular absolute form indicated by the morphology (Ncfsa). |
