SIBI-P1 H3276-04
they will bring benefit
| Root | יעל (y-ʿ-l) |
| Core Meanings | to ascend, rise, be of value, benefit, profit, be useful |
| Semantic Range | to profit, be useful, avail, succeed, bring advantage, provide benefit, accomplish good |
| Conceptual Significance | Frequently used in rhetorical contexts (often negated) to declare that idols, human schemes, or false alliances “do not bring benefit,” underscoring that true profit and advantage come only from YHWH. The term frames spiritual fidelity and divine reliance in terms of genuine gain versus empty advantage. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural from יעל. The Hiphil often carries the sense “to be of use” or “to cause benefit/profit,” functioning nearly intransitively in many contexts. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is Hiphil imperfect 3rd masculine plural, indicating a causative or declarative action performed by “they.” Rendering it as “they will bring benefit” preserves the causative nuance of the Hiphil stem and reflects the masculine plural subject inherent in the morphology. |
