SIBI-P1 H3202-06
they are able
| Root | יכל (y-k-l) |
| Core Meanings | ability, capacity, power to accomplish, prevail, endure |
| Semantic Range | to be able, to have power, to prevail, to overcome, to endure, to have capacity or competence |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb expresses human or divine capacity to act or prevail. In biblical theology, the question of who "is able" often highlights the limits of human strength in contrast to the sovereign ability of Elohim, underscoring dependence on divine power. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Peal (Qal) stem; imperfect; 3rd person masculine plural. The imperfect form often expresses ability, potential, or ongoing action in context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יכל conveys the idea of having the capacity or power to accomplish something. The form יָכְלִין is Aramaic Qal imperfect, third person masculine plural, so "they are able" preserves both the verbal sense of ongoing or modal ability and the plural masculine subject indicated by the morphology. |
