you shall thoroughly boil

Rootבשל (b-š-l)
Core Meaningsto boil, cook, seethe, ripen, bring to completion by heat
Semantic Rangeto boil or seethe food; to cook thoroughly; to roast; figuratively to ripen or bring to full development.
Conceptual SignificanceThis verb often appears in dietary and cultic contexts, especially in Torah instructions about food preparation, including prohibitions (e.g., not boiling a young goat in its mother’s milk). It underscores themes of obedience in everyday practices and the sanctification of ordinary acts like cooking.
Morphological NotesVerb, Piel stem (intensive/causative nuance), imperfect (yiqtol) form, 2nd person masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe root ב־ש־ל conveys the idea of boiling or cooking until done, and by extension ripening to completion. The Piel stem intensifies or factitively emphasizes the action, hence "thoroughly boil," while the 2nd masculine singular imperfect is reflected in "you shall."
