and cause yourself to discern
| Root | בין (b-y-n) |
| Core Meanings | separation, distinction, discernment, understanding, insight |
| Semantic Range | to discern, understand, perceive, consider carefully, act with insight, distinguish between things, give understanding, instruct |
| Conceptual Significance | בין expresses the covenantal value of discernment—rightly distinguishing truth from falsehood, clean from unclean, wisdom from folly. It marks the intellectual and moral insight expected of Israel in responding to YHWH’s instruction. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to Hiphil imperative, 2nd person masculine singular, from בין. The Hiphil stem gives a causative nuance: "cause to understand" or "give understanding." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root בין conveys the idea of separating or distinguishing mentally, leading to discernment or understanding. The form הָבֵן is Hiphil imperative masculine singular, which carries a causative force; thus "cause yourself to discern" reflects both the stem (causative) and the 2nd person masculine singular command, with the prefixed וְ meaning "and." |
