SIBI-P1 H995-37

and one who gives discernment

Rootבין (b-y-n)
Core Meaningsseparation, distinction, discernment, understanding, insight
Semantic Rangeto discern, perceive, understand, consider, instruct, give insight, act with prudence or skill
Conceptual SignificanceDiscernment in the Hebrew Bible is a prized quality associated with wisdom, leadership, and covenant faithfulness. One who "gives discernment" participates in transmitting wisdom, enabling others to rightly distinguish truth, justice, and the will of Elohim.
Morphological NotesHiphil active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction ו ("and"). The participle functions substantivally: "one who causes to understand."
Rendering RationaleThe root בין carries the idea of mental separation or distinguishing, leading to understanding. In the Hiphil stem, the verb is causative—"to cause to understand" or "to give discernment." As a masculine singular active participle with prefixed conjunction, it is best rendered "and one who gives discernment," preserving both the causative force and the masculine singular form.
