Cause it to blaze!
| Root | דלק (d-l-q) |
| Core Meanings | to burn, blaze, kindle, pursue ardently, inflame |
| Semantic Range | to kindle a fire, set ablaze, inflame emotionally, pursue fervently, persecute with burning intensity |
| Conceptual Significance | The imagery of blazing fire often symbolizes zeal, judgment, wrath, or passionate pursuit in the biblical text. The causative form underscores human agency in initiating what can represent either sacred devotion (kindling holy fire) or destructive fervor (burning persecution). |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperative, 2nd person masculine singular; causative stem commanding a male addressee to initiate the action of burning or kindling. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root דלק conveys the idea of burning or blazing, often with the figurative sense of ardent pursuit. In the Hiphil stem, the verb is causative, meaning "to cause to burn." The form הַדְלֵק is a Hiphil imperative masculine singular, so the rendering "Cause it to blaze!" reflects both the causative force and the second masculine singular command. |
