one who knows
| Root | ידע (y-d-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | knowledge, perception, experiential knowing, recognition, relational intimacy |
| Semantic Range | to know, perceive, recognize, understand, be acquainted with, experience, acknowledge, discern, be skillful, have intimate relations (contextually) |
| Conceptual Significance | ידע is central to biblical thought, expressing not merely intellectual awareness but relational and experiential knowledge—especially covenantal knowledge of יהוה. The participial form often characterizes a person by insight, skill, or intimate familiarity, underscoring that true knowledge in Scripture is lived and relational rather than abstract. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal participle, masculine singular absolute, from יָדַע. Functions adjectivally or substantivally to describe a man characterized by knowing, perceiving, or understanding. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal masculine singular participle, denoting an ongoing or characteristic state: "one who knows." This rendering preserves the active, experiential force of the root ידע (to know by perception or experience) while reflecting the singular participial sense indicated by the morphology. |
