SIBI-P1 `H1644-04`

you drove out

Root	גרש (g-r-sh)
Core Meanings	driving out, expulsion, banishment, dispossession, divorce
Semantic Range	to drive out, expel, banish, dispossess from land, send away, thrust out, divorce
Conceptual Significance	This verb is central to covenantal and territorial themes, describing the expulsion of nations from the land and the removal of persons from household or inheritance. It also underlies legal and relational imagery of divorce, reflecting separation from rightful place or relationship.
Morphological Notes	Qal stem; primarily perfect 2nd person masculine singular ("you drove out"), with one occurrence as a Qal active participle masculine singular ("driving out"). Simple active voice expressing completed or characteristic action.
Rendering Rationale	The root גרש conveys the act of driving out or expelling from possession. The morphology (HVpv2ms) indicates a Qal perfect, second person masculine singular, so "you drove out" preserves both the simple active stem and the masculine singular subject. The participial form (HVpa) reflects the same core action in an active sense ("driving out").
