SIBI-P1 H3559-81

he causes to stand firm

Rootכון (k-w-n)
Core Meaningsfirmness, stability, establishment, readiness, preparation
Semantic Rangeto establish, to set up, to prepare, to make ready, to confirm, to secure, to make firm or stable
Conceptual SignificanceThis root often expresses the act of establishing something securely—whether a throne, covenant, plan, or heart—emphasizing divine sovereignty and purposeful ordering. It conveys the biblical theme of stability granted or secured by deliberate action, often attributed to YHWH.
Morphological NotesHiphil imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular of כון; causative action performed by a masculine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe root כון conveys the idea of firmness or stability. In the Hiphil stem (causative), the verb means "to cause to be firm" or "to establish." The 3rd person masculine singular imperfect form is reflected by "he causes," preserving both the causative force and the masculine singular subject.
