SIBI-P1 H3384-03

he who points out

Rootירה (y-r-h)
Core Meaningsflowing, raining, shooting, casting, pointing, directing, instructing
Semantic Rangeteacher, instructor, guide, director, archer, shooter, early rain (as that which is "shot" or sent forth), proper name (Moreh).
Conceptual SignificanceThe root links physical aiming (as with an arrow) to verbal and spiritual direction. Biblical instruction (torah) is conceptually tied to this root, portraying teaching as the act of rightly aiming or directing someone in the path they should walk.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular participle (primarily Hiphil stem), functioning as a substantive: "one who directs/teaches." In some contexts also treated as a proper noun (Moreh) or as a common noun derived from the same root. The participle expresses ongoing or characteristic action.
Rendering RationaleThe form מוֹרֶה is a masculine singular participle (commonly Hiphil), denoting "one who causes to point out" or "one who directs/instructs." Rendering it as "he who points out" preserves the active participial sense, reflects the masculine singular morphology, and retains the root imagery of aiming or directing that underlies the concept of teaching.
