SIBI-P1 H857-03
you men have caused to come
| Root | אתה (ʾ-ṯ-h) |
| Core Meanings | to come, to arrive, to approach, to bring (by causing to come) |
| Semantic Range | to come, to arrive, to enter, to approach; in Hiphil, to bring, to cause to come, to lead in, to usher |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb expresses movement initiated either by the subject (coming) or caused by the subject (bringing). In covenantal and narrative contexts, the causative form often underscores human agency under divine sovereignty—bringing people, judgment, or blessing as part of YHWH’s unfolding purposes. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil perfect, 2nd person masculine plural from the root אתה; causative stem indicating completed action performed by "you" (masculine plural). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root אתה fundamentally denotes coming or arriving. In the Hiphil stem it takes a causative sense, "to cause to come," hence "to bring." The form is second person masculine plural perfect, so the rendering "you men have caused to come" preserves the causative force and the masculine plural subject. |
