SIBI-P1 H3474-01
I will set straight
| Root | ישר (y-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | straightness, uprightness, rightness, evenness, alignment |
| Semantic Range | to make straight, level, or smooth; to set right; to direct; to make upright; to make pleasing or proper; to guide in a straight path |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of straightness in Hebrew thought often symbolizes moral uprightness and covenantal faithfulness. To "set straight" can refer both to preparing a physical path and to restoring ethical or spiritual alignment before YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/factitive), imperfect (yiqtol), first common singular. The Piel form gives a causative sense: to make something straight or right. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ישר conveys the idea of straightness and upright alignment. In the Piel stem, the verb carries a factitive/causative nuance, meaning "to make straight" or "to set right." The first common singular imperfect form is reflected in "I will," preserving both the stem’s active causative force and the 1cs morphology. |
