SIBI-P1 `H7236-02`

he increased

Root	רבה (r-b-h)
Core Meanings	increase, become many, grow great, multiply, become numerous
Semantic Range	to grow in number, to become great, to increase in size or influence, to multiply, to become abundant
Conceptual Significance	The root רבה expresses the biblical theme of divinely granted growth and multiplication—whether of people, blessing, power, or influence—often associated with covenantal promises and the expansion of life and prosperity.
Morphological Notes	Aramaic verb; Qal (pe‘al) stem; perfect aspect; 3rd masculine singular (AVqp3ms). Cognate with Hebrew רָבָה.
Rendering Rationale	The Aramaic verb is in the Qal stem (simple active) perfect, 3rd masculine singular, indicating a completed action by a masculine singular subject. "He increased" preserves the core sense of the root רבה (growth, multiplication, enlargement) while accurately reflecting the third-person masculine singular form.
