SIBI-P1 H3212-19

he caused them to walk

Rootילך (y-l-k)
Core Meaningsto walk, to go, to journey, to proceed, to conduct
Semantic Rangeto lead, to bring, to carry away, to guide, to cause to depart, to conduct on a journey, to direct one’s steps
Conceptual SignificanceThis verb often describes divine guidance—especially YHWH leading Israel in the wilderness—emphasizing not mere movement but intentional direction and covenantal guidance. The causative stem highlights the active role of a leader who directs others along a chosen path.
Morphological NotesHiphil perfect 3rd masculine singular (הוֹלִיךְ) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (-ם), indicating a completed causative action performed by a male singular subject upon a masculine plural object.
Rendering RationaleThe verb is Hiphil perfect 3rd masculine singular with a 3rd masculine plural suffix, indicating that "he" caused "them" to perform the action. Since the root י־ל־ך fundamentally means "to walk" or "to go," the causative Hiphil form is best rendered "he caused them to walk," preserving both the root sense and the causative force.
