and one knowing
| Root | ידע (y-d-ʿ) |
| Core Meanings | knowing, perceiving, discerning, recognizing, experiencing |
| Semantic Range | to know, perceive, recognize, discern, understand, experience, be acquainted with, acknowledge, have intimate knowledge, be skilled |
| Conceptual Significance | ידע expresses experiential and relational knowledge in Hebrew thought, encompassing intellectual awareness, covenantal recognition, and intimate relationship. It often denotes not mere cognition but lived, relational knowing—whether of God, people, or circumstances. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute, from יָדַע. The participle functions substantivally (“one who knows”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form וְיֹדֵעַ is a Qal active participle masculine singular with prefixed conjunction וְ (“and”). Rendering it as “and one knowing” preserves the participial sense of an ongoing state or characteristic (a knowing one) while maintaining the masculine singular form reflected in the morphology. |
