| Root | ברח (b-r-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | to bolt, flee, run away suddenly, escape |
| Semantic Range | to flee, escape, run away, bolt; in Hiphil: to drive away, put to flight, chase off, cause to escape |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in contexts of deliverance or judgment, this verb can describe YHWH causing enemies to flee or individuals being driven out. It underscores divine sovereignty in battle and exile themes, where flight signifies both defeat and preservation. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular of ברח; causative stem indicating that the subject causes another to flee or be driven away. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ברח conveys the idea of bolting or fleeing suddenly. In the Hiphil stem (causative) and 3rd masculine singular imperfect form, the verb means "he causes to flee" or "he drives into flight," preserving both the core image of flight and the causative force of the stem. |
