SIBI-P1 H6238-06
she causes to grow rich
| Root | עשר (ʿ-š-r) |
| Core Meanings | wealth, richness, accumulation, enrichment, increase in substance |
| Semantic Range | to make wealthy, to enrich materially, to cause prosperity, to increase resources or abundance; in some contexts, to bring about flourishing or material success |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, enrichment is often attributed ultimately to YHWH’s blessing, highlighting divine sovereignty over prosperity. The causative form underscores that wealth is not merely self-generated but can be bestowed or brought about by an external agent, frequently God. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd feminine singular of עשר. The Hiphil stem conveys causative action: “to make rich” or “to cause to become wealthy.” The imperfect form can denote habitual, future, or modal action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is in the Hiphil stem, which gives a causative sense to the root עשר (“to be rich, to accumulate wealth”). As a 3rd feminine singular imperfect, it is rendered “she causes to grow rich,” preserving both the causative force and the feminine singular subject indicated by the morphology. |
