SIBI-P1 H7972-01
Send forth, you (masculine singular)!
| Root | שלח (sh-l-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | send, dispatch, stretch out, extend, release, let go |
| Semantic Range | to send someone or something, to dispatch with purpose, to stretch out the hand, to release or let go, to send away (including dismissal or divorce), to set forth on a mission |
| Conceptual Significance | The verb שלח is central to biblical themes of divine commissioning and authority—YHWH sends prophets, delivers Israel, and stretches out His hand in power. It also expresses human obedience or refusal in responding to a divine command to "send forth." |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular (HVqv2ms). The lexeme שָׁלַח is a primitive verbal root; some occurrences in the data also reflect the related proper noun שֶׁלַח (Shelach), but the verbal form here is an active command. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root שלח conveys the action of sending or stretching something out. In the Qal imperative masculine singular (2ms), the form שְׁלַח is a direct command addressed to one male individual, so "Send forth, you (masculine singular)!" preserves both the core idea of dispatching/extension and the specific grammatical person, number, and gender. |
