you (masculine singular) cause to shine / she causes to shine
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect form of אור; attested here as 2ms and 3fs. The Hiphil stem conveys causative action (causing light to shine). Imperfect aspect indicates incomplete, habitual, or future action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אור carries the idea of light and shining. In the Hiphil stem it takes a causative sense, "to cause to shine" or "to give light." The morphology indicates either 2nd person masculine singular ("you cause to shine") or 3rd person feminine singular ("she causes to shine"), both preserved explicitly in the rendering. |
