Rootנפק (n-p-q)
Core Meaningsto go out, to issue forth, to come out, to bring out
Semantic Rangeto go out, depart, emerge, issue forth, proceed, be brought out (in causative stems)
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical Aramaic contexts, נפק often describes physical departure or emergence, frequently in narratives involving royal decrees, movements of peoples, or divine acts. The concept of "going forth" can carry theological weight when describing deliverance, judgment, or the outworking of divine command in history.
Morphological NotesAramaic verb; Peal (G-stem equivalent to Hebrew Qal); perfect (suffix conjugation); 2nd person masculine plural. The form indicates a completed action performed by a masculine plural subject.
Rendering RationaleThe Aramaic root נפק conveys the idea of issuing or going out. In the Peal (simple active) perfect 2nd masculine plural form, the verb denotes a completed action performed by "you" (masculine plural). "You men went forth" preserves both the core sense of outward movement and the masculine plural grammatical marking inherent in the form.
