SIBI-P1 H7235-24
one who causes to increase
| Root | רבה (r-b-h) |
| Core Meanings | increase, become many, grow great, multiply, become abundant |
| Semantic Range | one who increases, one who multiplies, one who enlarges, one who makes abundant, increaser, multiplier |
| Conceptual Significance | From a root central to biblical themes of blessing and fruitfulness, this term reflects the covenantal ideal of increase—whether of people, wealth, wisdom, or righteousness—often understood as a sign of divine favor or effective stewardship. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil participle, masculine singular (appearing in both absolute and construct forms); also attested as a masculine singular noun derived from the same root. The Hiphil stem conveys causative force: "to cause to increase." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מַרְבֶּה is a Hiphil participle masculine singular from רָבָה, expressing causative action—"causing to increase" or "bringing about multiplication." Rendering it as "one who causes to increase" preserves both the root idea of growth/abundance and the masculine singular participial sense. |
