SIBI-P1 H1984-32
she will boast herself / you will boast yourself (masculine singular)
| Root | הלל (h-l-l) |
| Core Meanings | brightness, shining, radiance, display, boasting, praising |
| Semantic Range | to boast oneself, to glory, to exult, to shine forth in self-display, to praise oneself, to act madly in self-exaltation |
| Conceptual Significance | הלל in the Hitpael often contrasts rightful praise of יהוה with improper self-boasting. It highlights the tension between divine glory and human self-exaltation, underscoring themes of humility, honor, and the proper direction of praise in biblical theology. |
| Morphological Notes | Hitpael (reflexive) imperfect form of הלל. Attested as 3rd feminine singular and 2nd masculine singular. The reflexive stem emphasizes self-directed boasting or self-glorifying action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hitpael stem conveys a reflexive sense, indicating that the subject acts upon themselves in boasting or self-display. The imperfect form allows for either third feminine singular ("she will boast herself") or second masculine singular ("you will boast yourself"), and both are preserved to reflect the attested morphologies. The rendering retains the root idea of self-exalting display derived from the concept of shining. |
