he caused to recognize
| Root | נכר (n-k-r) |
| Core Meanings | scrutinizing, distinguishing, recognizing, acknowledging, treating as foreign |
| Semantic Range | to recognize, acknowledge, discern, distinguish, identify, regard, treat as foreign, estrange, feign ignorance, disown |
| Conceptual Significance | The root נכר captures the act of discerning identity or status, often marking relational boundaries—whether acknowledging kinship, recognizing divine activity, or treating someone as foreign. Recognition in biblical thought is relational and covenantal, not merely cognitive. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect, 3rd person masculine singular from נכר. The Hiphil stem conveys causative nuance—causing recognition or acknowledgment. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses a causative action, so the rendering reflects the idea of bringing about recognition rather than merely perceiving. The perfect 3rd masculine singular form is preserved with "he," maintaining the grammatical gender and number. |
