SIBI-P1 H7311-67
and he raised high
| Root | רום (r-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | height, elevation, exaltation, rising, loftiness |
| Semantic Range | to raise physically, to lift up, to exalt socially or politically, to elevate in status, to set on high, to offer up, to exalt in praise |
| Conceptual Significance | רום frequently expresses both physical elevation and metaphorical exaltation, whether of individuals, kings, offerings, or YHWH Himself. It reflects a biblical worldview in which height symbolizes honor, authority, and divine supremacy. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction waw + Hiphil waw-consecutive imperfect, 3rd masculine singular of רום. The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense ("cause to rise, lift up, exalt"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root רום conveys the idea of height or elevation. In the Hiphil stem (causative), the verb means "to cause to rise" or "to raise up." The waw-consecutive imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered narratively as past tense, hence "and he raised high," preserving both the causative force and the masculine singular subject. |
