SIBI-P1 H5337-73
he will cause them to be snatched away
| Root | נצל (n-ṣ-l) |
| Core Meanings | snatching away, rescuing, delivering, stripping, plundering |
| Semantic Range | to rescue from danger, deliver from enemies, snatch away from harm, strip or plunder, recover, preserve, take away suddenly |
| Conceptual Significance | נצל often conveys YHWH’s decisive intervention to pull His people out of danger or oppression. The imagery of "snatching away" highlights both urgency and power, portraying deliverance not as passive protection but as active, forceful removal from threat. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect 3rd masculine singular (HVhi3ms) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (Sp3mp). The Hiphil stem expresses causative action: "he causes to be snatched away" or "he delivers." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root נצל, which fundamentally means "to snatch away." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form with a 3rd masculine plural suffix is reflected in "he will cause" (3ms subject) and "them" (3mp object), preserving both the root imagery of forceful removal and the grammatical details. |
