SIBI-P1
they cause him to taste
| Root | טעם (ṭ-ʿ-m) |
| Core Meanings | taste, perceive flavor, sample, discern; by extension feed, cause to taste |
| Semantic Range | to taste, sample, perceive flavor, experience; causatively to feed, make eat, provide food; metaphorically to experience or discern. |
| Conceptual Significance | The root connects physical tasting with experiential knowledge, reflecting the biblical pattern where tasting can signify personal encounter or discernment. In its causative sense, feeding implies provision and care, often highlighting dependence and sustenance within covenantal or royal contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb (Peil/causative nuance), imperfect 3rd person masculine plural with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix ("him"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root טעם fundamentally means "to taste" or "to perceive flavor." In the Aramaic verbal stem used here, the action is causative, yielding the sense "to cause to taste," that is, "to feed." The morphology indicates 3rd person masculine plural subject with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix, hence "they cause him to taste." |
