SIBI-P1 H2505-36
he will apportion
| Root | חלק (ḥ-l-q) |
| Core Meanings | smoothness, slipperiness, division, apportionment, distribution |
| Semantic Range | to divide, distribute, assign portions, share out, separate; figuratively to deal out or allot; in some contexts to speak smoothly or flatter |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb often appears in contexts of dividing land, spoils, or inheritance, underscoring themes of covenantal allotment and divine distribution. The act of apportioning reflects both social justice and divine sovereignty in assigning portions among the people. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from חָלַק; simple active stem expressing incomplete or future action: "he will apportion/divide." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חלק conveys the idea of smoothness and, by extension, division or apportioning (as with smooth stones used for casting lots). "He will apportion" preserves this core sense of dividing or assigning portions while accurately reflecting the Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form. |
