Let me effect atoning-covering
| Root | כפר (k-p-r) |
| Core Meanings | covering, smearing over, expiation, appeasement, ransom |
| Semantic Range | to cover over, to atone, to expiate, to purge away guilt, to appease, to ransom, to reconcile |
| Conceptual Significance | כפר is central to Israel’s sacrificial and covenantal theology, expressing the act by which sin or impurity is "covered" so that relationship with יהוה is restored. It conveys not mere concealment but an enacted covering that removes offense and reconciles parties. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/factitive), first common singular cohortative (volitional imperfect). The -ָה ending marks the cohortative nuance, expressing intention or resolve: "let me" or "I will surely." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root כפר fundamentally means "to cover," and in the Piel stem it takes on the intensive or factitive sense of effecting atonement or expiation. The cohortative first common singular form expresses the speaker’s volitional resolve, hence "Let me effect," preserving both the intensive stem and the 1st person singular morphology. |
