SIBI-P1 H748-08
he will cause to be long
| Root | ארך (ʾ-ʾ-r-k (ʾ-ā-rak)) |
| Core Meanings | length, extension, prolonging, endurance, duration |
| Semantic Range | to prolong days or life, to lengthen time, to delay, to extend duration, to continue long, to defer action |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb frequently appears in covenantal contexts, especially regarding the prolonging of days in the land, linking obedience with extended life and stability. It expresses the biblical view that duration—of life, mercy, or judgment—is under divine governance and can be extended or drawn out by purposeful action. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular (HVhi3ms). The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root "to be long," yielding "to make long" or "to prolong." The imperfect form may express future, modal, or habitual action depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ארך conveys the idea of length or extension in space or time. In the Hiphil stem it carries a causative force, meaning "to cause to be long" or "to prolong." The form is 3rd person masculine singular imperfect, reflected in the rendering "he will cause to be long," preserving both the causative nuance and the masculine singular subject. |
