SIBI-P1 H6605-68
he/it will be opened wide
| Root | פתח (p-t-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to open, open wide, loosen, unfasten, begin, break forth |
| Semantic Range | to be opened, be unsealed, be unlocked, be loosened, be revealed, break open, become accessible, begin to speak (mouth opened) |
| Conceptual Significance | The verb frequently marks divine action in which what is closed—wombs, heavens, mouths, eyes, gates—is opened by God. It conveys themes of access, revelation, liberation, and the removal of barriers, both physical and spiritual. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd masculine singular from פתח. The Niphal often conveys “be opened” or “open oneself.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem expresses a passive or reflexive sense of the root פתח (“to open”), so the action is received rather than performed. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is reflected by “he/it will,” preserving singular number and masculine grammatical gender while conveying the core idea of being opened. |
