SIBI-P1 H3423-71
he will dispossess and take possession
| Root | ירש (y-r-sh) |
| Core Meanings | taking possession, dispossessing, inheriting, seizing, occupying by driving out |
| Semantic Range | to inherit, to dispossess nations, to take possession of land, to seize, to drive out, to impoverish or ruin by dispossession |
| Conceptual Significance | יָרַשׁ is central to Israel’s covenantal identity, describing the promised taking possession of the land through YHWH’s action. It unites inheritance and dispossession, reflecting both divine promise and judgment in the transfer of land and legacy. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. The Qal expresses the simple active sense: he will take possession/dispossess. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form denotes a future or incomplete action performed by "he." The rendering preserves the root idea of occupying by driving out prior occupants, holding together both dispossessing and possessing as inherent aspects of יָרַשׁ. |
