SIBI-P1 H3190-18
those causing-good of
| Root | יטב (y-ṭ-b) |
| Core Meanings | goodness, well-being, prosperity, making good, doing good, improving |
| Semantic Range | to do good, to deal well with, to benefit, to improve, to make prosperous, to act kindly, to cause well-being |
| Conceptual Significance | This term highlights active beneficence—those who bring about goodness or well-being for others. In biblical theology, such "causers of good" reflect covenantal blessing and divine favor, as goodness is both a moral quality and a tangible state of flourishing granted by God. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil participle, masculine plural, construct form from יָטַב. The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense ("to make good" or "to do good"), and the construct state links it to a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a Hiphil masculine plural participle in construct, indicating active agents who cause or make something good. Rendering it as "those causing-good of" preserves the causative force of the Hiphil stem, the masculine plural number, and the construct relationship to what follows. |
