he causes-to-say

Rootאמר (ʾ-m-r)
Core Meaningsto say, speak, declare, utter, command
Semantic Rangesay, speak, declare, command, promise, think, intend, answer, call, tell, report; in Hiphil: cause to say, declare, appoint.
Conceptual SignificanceAs the most frequent verb of speech in the Hebrew Bible (over 5,000 occurrences), אמר underscores divine-human communication, prophetic oracles, covenantal promises, and inner thought; in Hiphil, it emphasizes authoritative causation of speech, often linked to God's declarative acts that shape reality (e.g., creation by word, prophetic commissioning).
Morphological NotesHiphil (causative) Qal imperfective participle, 3rd person masculine singular (HVqi3ms); functions as a future/oral predictive verb form 'he will say' or 'saying one'.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem (HVqi3ms) indicates causative action, so 'causes-to-say' preserves the core semantics of verbal expression from the אמר root while explicitly reflecting the causative force; the 3ms morphology is captured in the masculine singular 'he' subject form, matching the imperfective participle's implied agency without pronominal suffixes.
