SIBI-P1 H5774-05
Will you cause to fly?
| Root | עוף (ʿ-w-p̄) |
| Core Meanings | flying, covering with wings, swift movement, dimming, fainting |
| Semantic Range | to fly, to cause to fly, to make flee, to send away swiftly, to grow faint or dim (by extension), to flash or shine briefly |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used metaphorically of fleeting wealth or vanishing circumstances, the root conveys transience and swiftness. In wisdom literature it underscores the instability of earthly gain, portraying it as something that can suddenly ‘take wing’ and disappear. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil (causative) imperfect, 2nd masculine singular, with prefixed interrogative particle הֲ; from the primitive root עוף. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form תָעִיף is Hiphil imperfect 2nd masculine singular, expressing a causative action performed by “you” (ms). The rendering “Will you cause to fly?” preserves the root idea of flying/swift movement while reflecting the causative stem and the interrogative force indicated by the prefixed הֲ. |
