SIBI-P1 `H7123-02`

to call out (to proclaim by reading)

Root	קרא (q-r-ʾ)
Core Meanings	to call, to cry out, to proclaim, to summon, to read aloud
Semantic Range	to call aloud, to summon, to proclaim, to announce, to read (especially aloud), to name or address
Conceptual Significance	In biblical usage, reading was inherently oral and public; thus קרא links proclamation with written revelation. The act of "calling out" the text underscores the communal and covenantal nature of Scripture, where divine words are audibly declared before the people.
Morphological Notes	Aramaic verb from קרא in the Peal (simple active) stem; infinitive construct with prefixed לְ preposition indicating purpose or result ("to call out"). The infinitive carries no gender, number, or person marking.
Rendering Rationale	The Aramaic root קרא fundamentally means "to call out" or "to proclaim," from which the sense "to read" develops as reading was done aloud. The form לְמִקְרֵא consists of the preposition לְ ("to") plus the Peal infinitive construct, accurately rendered as "to call out," preserving both the root meaning and the infinitive verbal form.
