I will cause

Rootעשה (ʿ-ś-h)
Core Meaningsto do, to make, to fashion, to accomplish, to produce
Semantic RangeIn Hiphil: to cause to do/make (e.g., appoint, bring about, execute, fashion, fulfill, offer, perform, prepare, provide, set); broader root range includes doing, working, producing, dealing, acting, observing, sacrificing, serving.
Conceptual SignificanceThe root עשה underscores Yahweh's sovereign agency in creation (Gen 1:16, 'caused to be'), covenant fulfillment, and redemptive acts, emphasizing divine initiative in accomplishing promises; in Hiphil, it highlights God's causative power in history, judgment, and salvation, inviting human response in obedience and worship.
Morphological NotesHiphil (causative) Qal imperfect (HVqi1cs): 1st person common singular cohortative/imperfect form of the root עשה (ʿāśâ), with sin dot distinguishing from samekh.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem (HVqi) indicates causative action, transforming the core Qal meaning of 'to do/make' into 'to cause to do/make,' preserving the root's semantic field of effecting or producing something; the 1cs morphology is reflected in the first-person singular future 'I will cause,' matching the cohortative/imperfect form's volitional sense of 'I will/let me cause.' This rendering maintains the broadest applicative sense of the root while honoring the verbal stem's causative force.
