to adorn / to glorify
| Root | פאר (p-ʾ-r) |
| Core Meanings | beauty, adornment, glory, splendor, boasting |
| Semantic Range | to beautify, adorn, glorify, magnify, boast, vaunt oneself, display splendor |
| Conceptual Significance | This root often expresses the act of displaying or bestowing glory, whether upon oneself, another person, or God. In biblical theology, it can describe human pride or divine glorification, highlighting the tension between self-exaltation and the rightful ascription of splendor to YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem, infinitive construct with prefixed לְ (“to”). The Piel conveys an intensive or factitive action: to make beautiful, to glorify, or to boast. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לְפָאֵר is a Piel infinitive construct, indicated by the prefixed לְ (“to”) and the Piel stem marker. The Piel stem intensifies or factitively expresses the root’s idea, so the rendering “to adorn / to glorify” preserves the sense of actively bestowing beauty or glory, reflecting the root’s connection to splendor and boasting. |
