SIBI-P1 H5130-01
he caused to wave
| Root | נוף (n-w-p̄) |
| Core Meanings | shaking, waving, brandishing, oscillating, causing to move to and fro |
| Semantic Range | to wave or brandish (a weapon), to present as a wave-offering, to shake or move back and forth, to signal by motion, to cause something to oscillate |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb is notably used in the context of the wave-offering in the sacrificial system, where an item is lifted and waved before YHWH, symbolizing presentation and dedication. More broadly, it conveys deliberate, often ritualized motion that signifies offering, authority, or summons. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) perfect, 3rd person masculine singular of נוּף. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root נוף conveys the idea of shaking or waving back and forth. In the Hiphil stem, the verb takes on a causative sense, so "he caused to wave" preserves both the core motion inherent in the root and the causative force of the stem. The perfect 3rd masculine singular form is reflected in "he caused." |
