SIBI-P1 H7121-89
he calls out
| Root | קרא (q-r-ʾ) |
| Core Meanings | calling out, summoning, proclaiming, naming, reading aloud |
| Semantic Range | to call, summon, proclaim, announce, name, invite, read aloud, cry out, address, declare |
| Conceptual Significance | קרא is central to biblical theology of revelation and relationship: YHWH calls creation into order, calls individuals by name, and calls His people to Himself. It also underlies proclamation and public reading of divine instruction, linking speech with authority and covenantal identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular of קָרָא. The imperfect can denote present, habitual, or future action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form יִקְרָא is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating simple active action performed by "he." "He calls out" preserves the core sense of the root קרא as vocal summoning or addressing, while accurately reflecting the third person masculine singular verbal form. |
