SIBI-P1 H7125-03
to encounter them
| Root | קרא (q-r-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | to call, proclaim, summon, name, encounter |
| Semantic Range | to meet, encounter, come toward, call out to, summon, confront (whether in peace or hostility) |
| Conceptual Significance | From the root that denotes calling and proclamation, this form often marks purposeful encounter—whether divine, human, hostile, or hospitable—highlighting intentional engagement rather than accidental meeting in biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct קְרָאת with prefixed ל preposition and 3mp pronominal suffix ם; functions adverbially to express purpose or direction ("to/toward encountering them"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Qal infinitive construct of קרא with prefixed ל ("to/toward") and a 3rd masculine plural suffix ("them"). "To encounter them" preserves the root sense of calling/meeting and accurately reflects the infinitive purpose with the masculine plural object. |
