SIBI-P1 H7235-06
to cause to increase
| Root | רבה (r-b-h) |
| Core Meanings | increase, abundance, multiplication, greatness, enlargement |
| Semantic Range | to multiply, to make many, to enlarge, to increase abundance, to cause growth, to make great in number or extent |
| Conceptual Significance | The root רבה expresses the biblical theme of divinely granted increase—whether in offspring, possessions, influence, or blessing. In covenantal contexts, it often reflects YHWH’s promise to multiply descendants and prosper His people, emphasizing growth as a sign of favor and fulfillment of promise. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) infinitive construct of רָבָה. The Hiphil stem conveys causing or bringing about increase, rather than simply becoming many (Qal). As an infinitive construct, it functions verbally but without person, number, or gender marking. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הַרְבּוֹת is a Hiphil infinitive construct of רבה, which in the Hiphil stem carries a causative sense. The rendering "to cause to increase" preserves the core root idea of growth and abundance while accurately reflecting the causative verbal stem and infinitive form. |
