SIBI-P1 H167-02

he shines forth / he causes to shine

Morphological NotesVerb from הלל in Piel imperfect 3ms (intensive active) and Hiphil imperfect 3ms (causative active). The imperfect form denotes ongoing or incomplete action: "he shines/causes to shine."
Rendering RationaleThe root הלל fundamentally conveys shining brightness that extends metaphorically to praise or boastful display. In the Piel (HVpi3ms), the form expresses an intensive action—"he shines forth" or "he boasts." In the Hiphil (HVhi3ms), it is causative—"he causes to shine," hence "he celebrates" or "gives praise." Both are third person masculine singular, reflected in "he."
