SIBI-P1 H7235-80
he will multiply
| Root | רבה (r-b-h) |
| Core Meanings | increase, become many, grow great, multiply, become abundant |
| Semantic Range | to become numerous, to grow great, to increase in quantity or intensity, to multiply, to enlarge, to become abundant or extensive |
| Conceptual Significance | רבה frequently describes covenantal blessing—especially the multiplication of offspring, land, or prosperity—highlighting divine favor and the fulfillment of promises to the patriarchs. It also conveys the organic growth of a people or condition under YHWH’s sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular from רבה. The Qal stem expresses simple active increase or becoming many. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb is Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular, indicating a simple active action performed by a masculine singular subject, often with future or habitual sense. "He will multiply" preserves the core idea of increase or growth inherent in רבה while accurately reflecting the grammatical person, number, gender, and stem. |
