to cause to know
| Root | ידע (y-d-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | knowledge, perception, recognition, experiential knowing, discernment |
| Semantic Range | to inform, to declare, to make known, to reveal, to teach, to certify, to bring to awareness |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, ידע conveys relational and experiential knowledge, not mere cognition. The causative form underscores the act of revelation—bringing someone into knowledge—often associated with divine disclosure, instruction, or authoritative proclamation. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Haphel (causative) infinitive construct with prefixed לְ ('to'). Haphel corresponds functionally to Hebrew Hiphil, expressing causation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ידע centers on experiential and perceptive knowledge. This form is Aramaic Haphel (causative), so the rendering reflects the causative force: not merely "to know," but "to cause to know," preserving both the root sense and the verbal stem. The prefixed לְ marks the infinitive construct, hence "to cause to know." |
