exultant-joy
| Root | גיל (g-y-l) |
| Core Meanings | to circle, spin, whirl, rejoice, exult |
| Semantic Range | joy, rejoicing, exultation, gladness, jubilant celebration; as a verb, to rejoice, exult, or express intense gladness |
| Conceptual Significance | גִּיל expresses not merely inward happiness but outward, embodied rejoicing—often in response to divine salvation or blessing. It reflects covenantal joy rooted in YHWH’s acts, portraying celebration as an active, communal, and God-centered response. |
| Morphological Notes | Primarily a masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). The same lexeme can also appear as a Qal perfect 3rd masculine singular verb (HVqa), meaning "he rejoiced" or "he exulted." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גִּיל is a masculine singular absolute form derived from the root גיל, which conveys circling or whirling with joy. "Exultant-joy" preserves the vivid, active sense of rejoicing inherent in the root while reflecting the masculine singular noun form indicated by the morphology. |
