SIBI-P1 H3276-04
we will cause to bring benefit
| Root | יעל (y-ʿ-l) |
| Core Meanings | ascend, be of value, be beneficial, bring profit, be useful |
| Semantic Range | to profit, to be of use, to bring benefit, to avail, to accomplish good, to be advantageous |
| Conceptual Significance | Often 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 Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 1st person common plural (HVhi1cp); causative stem with prefixed נ indicating "we" and imperfect aspect indicating incomplete or future action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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." |
