SIBI-P1 H3707-01
I will cause them to be indignant
| Root | כעס (k-ʿ-s) |
| Core Meanings | vexation, provocation, anger, indignation, grief |
| Semantic Range | to provoke to anger, to cause grief, to vex, to stir indignation, to incite wrath |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb often describes covenantal provocation, where Israel’s actions stir divine anger or where YHWH incites emotional response as judgment. It reflects relational tension within the covenant framework, highlighting the seriousness of actions that disturb divine order and faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 1st common singular with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix ("I will cause… them"). The Hiphil stem gives a causative nuance to the root כעס (to be angry/vexed). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem expresses causation, so the rendering includes "cause" to reflect the verb’s causative force. The first person common singular imperfect is conveyed by "I will," and the 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix is represented by "them." "Indignant" preserves the root sense of vexation and stirred anger inherent in כעס. |
