SIBI-P1 H5186-59

he causes it to stretch out

Rootנטה (n-ṭ-h)
Core Meaningsstretching out, spreading, extending, bending, inclining, turning aside
Semantic Rangeto cause to extend, to spread out, to incline, to turn aside, to direct, to bend, to stretch forth (hand, arm, tent, heavens), to cause moral or physical deviation
Conceptual SignificanceThis root frequently describes YHWH stretching out the heavens, extending His hand in judgment or deliverance, or causing events to turn. It conveys active direction and purposeful extension, emphasizing divine sovereignty and intentional action in shaping history and creation.
Morphological NotesHiphil imperfect (or yiqtol form) 3rd masculine singular with 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix; causative stem indicating the subject causes the action to occur to the object.
Rendering RationaleThe root נטה conveys the idea of stretching, extending, or inclining. In the Hiphil stem, the verb takes a causative sense, meaning "to cause to stretch/extend" or "to cause to incline." The form is 3rd masculine singular with a 3rd masculine singular suffix, thus "he" as subject and "it/him" as object; "it" is used here to reflect the masculine singular pronominal suffix while preserving natural English usage.
