SIBI-P1 H1934-09
let him be
| Root | הוה (h-w-h) |
| Core Meanings | being, existence, becoming, happening |
| Semantic Range | to be, to exist, to become, to come to pass, to happen, to take place, to remain, to serve as (in periphrastic constructions) |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Aramaic portions of Scripture (especially Daniel and Ezra), הוה functions as a fundamental verb of existence and unfolding events, often marking divine decrees or historical developments. Its use underscores the sovereignty of Elohim over what "comes to be" in history. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb (AV), Qal imperfect (qi), 3rd masculine singular (3ms) of הוה with prefixed ל marking purpose or jussive nuance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root הוה denotes being or becoming. The form is Aramaic Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular with prefixed ל, which in this construction conveys a jussive or purposive sense—"let him be" or "that he be." The rendering preserves both the existential force of the root and the masculine singular grammar. |
