| Root | יסף (y-s-p) |
| Core Meanings | add, increase, augment, continue, do again, extend |
| Semantic Range | to add, to increase, to continue, to do again, to exceed, to prolong, to augment, to intensify, to proceed further |
| Conceptual Significance | יסף often marks divine continuation or escalation—either of blessing, judgment, or action—highlighting the dynamic unfolding of covenant history. When used by YHWH, it frequently signals purposeful intensification or renewed action within His redemptive or disciplinary dealings. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative stem) imperfect 1st common singular of יסף. The Hiphil stem conveys causing or bringing about addition or increase; the imperfect denotes incomplete or future action from the speaker’s perspective. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Hiphil imperfect, first common singular, expressing a causative action by the speaker: "I will cause to add/increase." "I will add further" preserves the root idea of augmentation while reflecting the 1cs verbal form and the forward-looking imperfect aspect. |
