to make-wondrous
| Root | פלא (p-l-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | separation, distinction, extraordinariness, wonder, surpassing difficulty |
| Semantic Range | to perform wonders, to act extraordinarily, to make something remarkable, to accomplish what is difficult or surpassing, to show oneself wondrous |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb is frequently used of YHWH’s mighty acts that distinguish Him from all others—acts that set events or people apart as extraordinary. It underscores divine power to accomplish what is beyond human ability, marking moments of revelation, deliverance, or judgment as acts of wondrous distinction. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from פלא in the Piel stem; infinitive construct with prefixed ל ("to"). The Piel expresses intensive or causative action—bringing about wonder or distinction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root פלא conveys the idea of something set apart or distinguished, hence extraordinary or wondrous. In the Piel stem it carries an intensive/causative sense—"to make something extraordinary" or "to perform wonders." The prefixed ל marks the infinitive construct, hence the rendering "to make-wondrous." |
