SIBI-P1 H858-07
they were caused to come
| Root | אתה (ʾ-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | coming, arriving, entering, appearing |
| Semantic Range | to come, to arrive, to enter, to appear; in causative forms, to bring or cause to come |
| Conceptual Significance | In its Aramaic contexts (notably Ezra and Daniel), this verb often describes movement under authority—whether human or divine—highlighting themes of sovereignty, exile, and the orchestration of events by a higher power. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Hophal (passive causative) perfect, 3rd person masculine plural. The Hophal stem indicates that the subject received the action of being brought or caused to arrive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אתה conveys the act of coming or arriving. In the Hophal stem (passive causative) with a 3rd person masculine plural perfect form, the sense is that "they" (masculine plural) were caused to come—hence a passive rendering that preserves both the causative force and the plural subject. |
