SIBI-P1 H6601-03
he will entice (make simple)
| Root | פתה (p-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | openness, simplicity, spaciousness, persuasion, enticement, deception |
| Semantic Range | to entice, seduce, deceive, persuade, allure, mislead, make simple or naïve |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb often appears in contexts of moral testing, seduction, or deceptive persuasion, highlighting the vulnerability of the "simple" and the ethical danger of being drawn away from covenantal faithfulness through enticement. |
| Morphological Notes | Piel imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from פתה. The Piel conveys an intensive or causative nuance—"to entice, persuade, or seduce." |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem intensifies or factitively develops the root idea of making someone "open" or "simple," hence persuading or enticing them. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is reflected in "he will entice," preserving both the verbal action and the masculine singular subject. |
