Rise up!
| Root | קום (q-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | rising, standing, establishing, enduring, being set in place |
| Semantic Range | to rise, stand, get up, take one’s stand, appear on the scene, endure, be established, fulfill, confirm, set up, initiate action |
| Conceptual Significance | קום is a foundational verb of movement and establishment in the Hebrew Bible, used for physical rising, the raising up of leaders, the establishment of covenants and words, and divine action in history. It often signals decisive intervention, whether human or divine, marking moments of transition, commissioning, or fulfillment. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular (HVqv2ms). Simple active stem expressing a direct command to one male individual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperative 2nd masculine singular calls a single male addressee to action. "Rise up!" preserves the root sense of moving from a lower to a standing position while also carrying the broader connotations of taking a stand, initiating action, or establishing oneself inherent in קום. |
