| Root | מצא (m-ṣ-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | finding, encountering, attaining, discovering, coming upon, obtaining |
| Semantic Range | to find, discover, encounter, come upon, attain, obtain, meet with, befall, prove sufficient |
| Conceptual Significance | מצא often marks decisive encounters—whether with blessing, judgment, wisdom, or divine presence. It can signify the culmination of a search or the unexpected meeting with what YHWH appoints, underscoring the theme that what one "finds" is often governed by divine providence. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 2nd masculine singular (תִמְצָא) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (-ם), yielding "you (ms) will find/come upon them." The Qal stem expresses simple active action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root מצא carries the sense of coming upon, encountering, or attaining something. Rendering it as "come upon" preserves the dynamic idea of encountering or reaching what was sought. The Qal imperfect 2nd masculine singular form indicates a simple active future action by "you" (masculine singular), and the 3rd masculine plural suffix requires the object "them." |
