SIBI-P1 H3259-07
he appointed her
| Root | יעד (y-ʿ-d) |
| Core Meanings | to appoint, to fix, to designate, to meet by arrangement, to betroth |
| Semantic Range | to appoint or designate someone, to fix a time, to arrange a meeting, to summon, to assign, to betroth or engage for marriage |
| Conceptual Significance | The root often conveys intentional setting apart or arranging by agreement, whether for meeting, judgment, or marriage. In covenantal contexts, it can reflect formal commitment or designation, underscoring purposeful relational or legal arrangement within Israelite society. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal perfect 3ms (יְעָדָ) with 3fs pronominal suffix (־הּ), yielding "he appointed her." The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of setting or appointing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular form with a 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix indicates a completed action performed by "he" upon "her." The rendering "he appointed her" preserves the root sense of fixing or designating by deliberate arrangement while accurately reflecting the masculine subject and feminine object. |
