SIBI-P1 H7311-71
and he caused to rise high
| Root | רום (r-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | height, elevation, exaltation, rising, lifting up |
| Semantic Range | to raise, lift up, exalt, set on high, offer up, elevate socially or spiritually, become lofty (in related stems) |
| Conceptual Significance | רום frequently expresses both physical elevation and metaphorical exaltation—of individuals, kings, offerings, or YHWH Himself. It conveys themes of divine exaltation, human pride, and the act of setting apart or elevating something for sacred or royal purposes. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ plus Hiphil perfect 3rd masculine singular of רום. The Hiphil stem conveys causative action: "he caused to rise / he raised." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the verb a causative force, so rather than merely "rising," it expresses causing something to rise or be lifted. The 3rd person masculine singular perfect is reflected in "he caused," preserving both the subject and completed action, while "rise high" maintains the root sense of elevation inherent in רום. |
