he will cause to grow great
| Root | גדל (g-d-l) |
| Core Meanings | greatness, growth, enlargement, exaltation, increase |
| Semantic Range | to make great, magnify, exalt, promote, increase, raise up, boast, cause to grow, make powerful or important |
| Conceptual Significance | גדל frequently expresses the elevation of status, power, or honor—whether of individuals, nations, or the name of יהוה. In its causative form, it often underscores divine agency in raising up leaders or magnifying His own name, highlighting themes of growth, promotion, and exaltation under divine sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular (HVhi3ms); causative stem indicating that the subject brings about greatness or growth in someone or something. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root גדל conveys the idea of becoming great or growing in size, status, or importance. In the Hiphil stem (causative) and 3rd masculine singular imperfect form, the verb means "he will cause to become great" or "he will make great," preserving both the causative force and the masculine singular subject. |
