counsel-giver
| Root | יעץ (y-ʿ-ṣ) |
| Core Meanings | to advise, to counsel, to deliberate, to plan, to purpose |
| Semantic Range | advisor, counselor, planner, strategist, royal minister, one who gives guidance or deliberates on a course of action |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, the counsel-giver holds an influential role in royal courts and communal leadership. The term can describe wise human advisors as well as YHWH Himself as the ultimate source of wise counsel (e.g., "Wonderful Counsel-giver" in Isaiah 9:6), highlighting the value of divinely grounded wisdom and deliberate purpose. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular (absolute or construct). Functions substantivally as "one who gives counsel." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal active participle masculine singular, denoting "one who counsels." The rendering "counsel-giver" preserves the verbal force of the root יָעַץ (to advise, to deliberate) while clearly reflecting the masculine singular participial form. |
