and he clothed them
| Root | לבש (l-b-sh) |
| Core Meanings | to wrap, clothe, put on, wear, be clothed, array |
| Semantic Range | to put on garments, clothe another, wear clothing, be arrayed, arm oneself, be enveloped (literally or figuratively, e.g., with righteousness, strength, or honor) |
| Conceptual Significance | Clothing in the Hebrew Bible often signifies identity, status, honor, or righteousness. The act of clothing another can symbolize provision, protection, consecration, or the conferral of dignity and role. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + Qal waw-consecutive (converted perfect) 3ms of לבש with 3mp pronominal suffix ("them"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root לבש carries the core sense of wrapping or clothing. The form is Qal (simple active) with a waw-consecutive 3rd masculine singular verb and a 3rd masculine plural object suffix, thus "and he clothed them," preserving both the action and the masculine plural object. |
