SIBI-P1 H1129-81
he will be built up
| Root | בנה (b-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | to build, construct, establish, rebuild, form a household, cause to flourish |
| Semantic Range | to be constructed physically, to be rebuilt, to be established as a city or house, to be strengthened or restored, to be built up as a household or lineage |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, being "built" often extends beyond physical structures to dynastic continuity, covenantal establishment, and communal restoration. The term can signify the strengthening of a people, city, or house under divine blessing. |
| Morphological Notes | Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect (yiqtol) conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular from בנה. The Niphal conveys "to be built" or "to be established." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Niphal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a passive or reflexive action in the future: "he will be built." The addition of "up" reflects the root sense of construction or establishment while preserving the masculine singular subject inherent in the morphology. |
