SIBI-P1 H3498-17
you will cause to abound
| Root | יתר (y-t-r) |
| Core Meanings | excess, surplus, remainder, superiority, abundance |
| Semantic Range | to remain over, be left, be in excess, excel, cause to abound, preserve a remnant, leave over, show superiority |
| Conceptual Significance | The root יתר often marks the idea of remnant or surplus—what remains beyond loss or judgment. In theological contexts, it can underscore themes of preservation, divine abundance, or the superiority of one person or tribe over another. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular from יָתַר. The Hiphil stem gives a causative nuance: "to cause to remain/exceed/abound." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is from the root יתר, which carries the idea of excess, surplus, or that which remains over. In the Hiphil (causative) imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular, it conveys that "you (ms) will cause" something to be in excess or to abound, preserving both the causative force of the stem and the masculine singular subject. |
