SIBI-P1 H5027-17

you will direct your gaze

Rootנבט (n-b-ṭ)
Core Meaningsto look intently, to gaze, to regard attentively, to consider, to behold with focus
Semantic Rangeto look attentively, to behold, to regard with care or favor, to consider thoughtfully, to look toward (in expectation or dependence)
Conceptual Significanceנבט frequently marks more than physical sight; it often implies mindful attention, dependence, or evaluative regard—whether toward God in trust or toward circumstances in reflection. It can signal a relational orientation, where directing one’s gaze expresses reliance, reverence, or deliberate consideration.
Morphological NotesHiphil imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular of נָבַט. The Hiphil stem can express causative or deliberate action; here it conveys intentional directing of sight.
Rendering RationaleThe root נבט conveys an intentional, focused looking or regard. The Hiphil stem often carries a causative nuance, so "direct your gaze" reflects the idea of causing one’s sight to focus. The imperfect 2ms form is rendered as "you will," preserving masculine singular address.
