SIBI-P1 H7200-33
he has caused to see
| Root | ראה (r-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | seeing, perceiving, observing, experiencing, appearing |
| Semantic Range | to cause someone to see, to show, to reveal, to make visible, to present, to demonstrate, to let experience |
| Conceptual Significance | In Scripture, the causative form of ראה often conveys divine revelation—YHWH causing someone to see truth, glory, judgment, or salvation. It underscores that true perception or revelation is granted, not self-generated, highlighting dependence on divine disclosure. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil stem (causative), perfect (completed action), 3rd person masculine singular from ראה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Hiphil perfect 3rd masculine singular from ראה, which in the Hiphil stem carries a causative sense. Rather than simply "he saw," this form means "he caused to see" or "he showed," preserving both the root idea of sight and the causative force, with the subject clearly third person masculine singular. |
