he sees
| Root | ראה (r-ʾ-h) |
| Core Meanings | seeing, perceiving, observing, experiencing, discerning |
| Semantic Range | to see visually, to perceive or discern, to consider, to experience, to inspect, to appear, to provide (by seeing to it) |
| Conceptual Significance | Seeing in the Hebrew Bible often implies more than physical sight—it includes perception, understanding, and evaluative judgment. Divine "seeing" frequently conveys attentive awareness and responsive action, underscoring YHWH’s active involvement in human affairs. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular of רָאָה. The imperfect may denote future, habitual, or modal action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form יִרְאֶה is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating simple active action by a male subject: "he sees" or "he will see." The rendering preserves the core visual-perceptive sense of the root ראה without adding causative or intensive nuance. |
