SIBI-P1 H3202-05
and she proved able
| Root | יכל (y-k-l) |
| Core Meanings | ability, capacity, power to accomplish, prevail, overcome |
| Semantic Range | to be able, have power, prevail, overcome, be capable, endure successfully |
| Conceptual Significance | The root expresses the concept of effective power or capability—whether physical, political, or divinely granted. In biblical theology, true ability or prevailing strength often implies empowerment granted or permitted by God, highlighting human limitation and divine sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb; Qal (simple active) perfect, 3rd feminine singular, with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). The perfect form denotes completed action in past narrative context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יכל conveys the idea of ability or prevailing power. The form is Aramaic Qal perfect 3rd feminine singular with a prefixed conjunction, so "and she proved able" preserves the feminine singular subject and reflects the completed aspect of the verb while retaining the core sense of demonstrated ability or prevailing strength. |
