you will cause-to-say

Rootאמר (ʾ-m-r)
Core Meaningsto say, to speak, to declare, to command, to utter
Semantic RangeTo say, speak, declare, command, appoint, promise, call, tell, answer, report, determine, intend; in Hiphil: to cause to say, declare emphatically, command.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a foundational verb of divine and human communication (e.g. God's word in creation, prophecy, law-giving), it underscores speech as performative and authoritative in biblical theology, linking utterance to reality, covenant, and revelation.
Morphological NotesHiphil (HV) imperfect consecutive (yiqtol) with 2ms (e.g. תֹאמַר 'you (m) will cause-to-say') and 3fs (תֹאמַר 'she will cause-to-say') forms; surface forms show minor orthographic and accentual variations.
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem (HV) indicates causative action, transforming the core Qal meaning 'to say' into 'to cause to say' or 'to declare,' preserving the root's semantic focus on verbal expression; this reflects the imperfect consecutive tense for future/sequential action and accommodates the mixed 2ms/3fs morphologies as a general 2nd person form addressing a male or female; the rendering avoids generic 'say' to highlight the intensive/causative nuance unique to this stem.
