SIBI-P1 H3051-01
You—give!
| Root | יהב (y-h-b) |
| Core Meanings | give, place, set, bestow, ascribe |
| Semantic Range | to give, bestow, grant, ascribe, put, set, bring, offer; in some contexts an urgent call such as "come!" |
| Conceptual Significance | The verb expresses the act of transfer or attribution—whether material gifts, praise, honor, or responsibility. In biblical theology, commands to "give" often relate to covenantal response, urging the hearer to actively render honor, obedience, or offerings to YHWH or others. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular (HVqv2ms/AVqv2ms); a short imperative form used as a direct command addressed to one male individual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הַב is a Qal imperative masculine singular from יָהַב, meaning "to give" or "to place." The rendering "You—give!" preserves the direct second-person masculine singular command inherent in the morphology while maintaining the core sense of bestowal or impartation carried by the root. |
