SIBI-P1 H1288-104
he will be blessed
| Root | ברך (b-r-k) |
| Core Meanings | kneeling, blessing, invoking favor, bestowing benefit |
| Semantic Range | to be blessed, to receive favor or benefit, to be endowed with prosperity or divine favor; in some contexts the active root can also denote praising or (euphemistically) cursing. |
| Conceptual Significance | Blessing (ברכה) is a central covenantal concept in the Hebrew Bible, expressing divine favor, life, fruitfulness, and peace. The passive form highlights the recipient’s dependence on YHWH or another agent as the source of bestowed favor and well-being. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Pual (passive of Piel) imperfect, 3rd masculine singular. Indicates a future or incomplete action in which a masculine singular subject receives the action of blessing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ברך fundamentally conveys kneeling and, by extension, the act of blessing or invoking favor. In this form, the verb is passive and third masculine singular, so "he will be blessed" accurately reflects both the passive voice (receiving blessing) and the masculine singular subject indicated by the morphology. |
