Rootשׁוּב (š-w-b)
Core Meaningsturning, returning, reversing, restoring, going back
Semantic Rangeto return, turn back, restore, bring back, reverse, withdraw, repent, answer again, send back, recover
Conceptual Significanceשׁוּב is a central covenantal term in the Hebrew Bible, expressing both physical return and spiritual repentance. It often describes Israel’s turning back to YHWH and YHWH’s restoring of His people, capturing the dynamic of estrangement and renewal within the covenant relationship.
Morphological NotesVerb, Hiphil (causative) perfect, 2nd masculine singular. Other occurrences in this set include a Qal masculine singular participle with the definite article ("the one who turns/returns"). One surface form reflects a separate noun שָׁוְא (falsehood), a homograph not derived from this root.
Rendering RationaleThe root שׁוּב conveys the idea of turning or returning. In the Hiphil stem (causative) and 2nd masculine singular perfect form, הָשַׁב means "you caused to turn back" or "you restored," preserving both the causative force of the stem and the masculine singular address.
