SIBI-P1 H3276-04

we will cause to bring benefit

Rootיעל (y-ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsascend, be of value, be beneficial, bring profit, be useful
Semantic Rangeto profit, to be of use, to bring benefit, to avail, to accomplish good, to be advantageous
Conceptual SignificanceOften used in wisdom and prophetic literature to question what truly "profits" or brings lasting benefit, the term probes the value of actions, idols, or human striving before God, contrasting fleeting gain with what is truly advantageous in covenantal terms.
Morphological NotesHiphil imperfect, 1st person common plural (HVhi1cp); causative stem with prefixed נ indicating "we" and imperfect aspect indicating incomplete or future action.
Rendering RationaleThe root יעל conveys the idea of being valuable or beneficial. In the Hiphil stem it takes a causative sense, "to cause to be beneficial" or "to bring benefit." The 1st person common plural imperfect form נוֹעִיל is therefore rendered "we will cause to bring benefit," preserving both the causative nuance and the plural "we."
