Rootיטב (y-ṭ-b)
Core Meaningsgoodness, well-being, pleasantness, prosperity, rightness
Semantic Rangeto do good, to make well, to act rightly, to deal kindly, to improve, to make pleasing, to benefit, to prosper, to do thoroughly or well
Conceptual SignificanceThe root יטב expresses the biblical concept of goodness as active well-being and right action. In covenant contexts it often relates to doing what is good in YHWH’s sight, embodying moral alignment, beneficence, and the promotion of flourishing.
Morphological NotesHiphil imperative, masculine singular, 2nd person. The Hiphil stem conveys causative force: "cause to be good/well." Though often used adverbially in context, its form is a direct command.
Rendering RationaleThe form הֵיטֵב is Hiphil imperative masculine singular from יטב, expressing a causative command: to cause something to be good or well. "Make it good!" preserves the root idea of goodness and reflects the second-person masculine singular imperative in the causative stem.
