one causing to advance
| Root | צלח (ts-l-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to push forward, advance, break through, succeed, prosper |
| Semantic Range | to cause success, to make prosperous, to enable advancement, to bring about favorable outcomes, to grant breakthrough |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of YHWH granting success or causing someone to thrive, this verb highlights divine empowerment and forward movement. Prosperity in biblical thought is not merely material gain but successful advancement under divine favor and purpose. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil active participle, masculine singular absolute (HVhrmsa). The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense: "causing to advance/prosper." As a participle, it functions verbally or substantivally ("one who causes to prosper"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root צלח conveys the idea of pushing forward or breaking through into success. In the Hiphil stem it is causative, meaning "to cause to advance" or "to make prosper." The form is a masculine singular active participle, so "one causing to advance" preserves both the causative force and the masculine singular grammar. |
