you have caused-to-say

Rootאמר (ʾ-m-r)
Core Meaningsto say, speak, declare, command, promise
Semantic Rangesay, speak, declare, command, appoint, promise, avouch, bid, call, certify, charge, commune, consider, demand, determine, name, publish, report, require, tell, think, utter; in Hiphil: cause to say, declare emphatically.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a foundational verb of divine and human communication, אמר frequently conveys God's creative word ('God said, let there be...'), prophetic declarations, covenants, and human testimony; in Hiphil, it emphasizes authoritative causation of speech, underscoring themes of divine sovereignty and human responsibility in biblical discourse.
Morphological NotesHiphil (causative) Qal perfect participle, 2nd person masculine singular (HVqp2ms); functions as a verbal form with perfective aspect, often rendered as 'you said' in context but with causative implications.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core meaning of the root אמר ('to say') while explicitly reflecting the Hiphil stem's causative force, indicating 'you caused (something) to say' or 'you declared'; it matches the 2ms morphology (HVqp2ms) as a masculine singular perfect participle used verbally for 'you (m.s.) have caused-to-say'. The form's common translation 'you said' is intensified by the causative nuance to maintain root fidelity.
