SIBI-P1 H3052-04
he gave
| Root | יהב (y-h-b) |
| Core Meanings | to give, bestow, place, set forth, deliver |
| Semantic Range | to give, grant, bestow, deliver, hand over, set, lay, pay, yield; used for both literal transfer and figurative granting (authority, wisdom, time). |
| Conceptual Significance | In Biblical Aramaic (notably Daniel and Ezra), יהב frequently describes the act of giving by kings or by Elohim, emphasizing divine sovereignty and authority as gifts granted by heaven. The verb underscores the source of power, wisdom, and deliverance as bestowed rather than self-derived. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Peal (simple active) stem; primarily perfect (qatal) 3rd masculine singular, with one occurrence in the imperfect (yiqtol) 3ms. No pronominal suffixes attached in these forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic verb יהב in the Peal (simple active) stem fundamentally means "to give" or "to bestow." The morphology AVqp3ms indicates a perfect (completed action), 3rd person masculine singular form, accurately reflected in the rendering "he gave," preserving both the root sense and grammatical features. |
