SIBI-P1 H3254-29
and they will cause to increase
| Root | יסף (y-s-p) |
| Core Meanings | addition, increase, continuation, augmentation |
| Semantic Range | to add, increase, augment, continue, do again, prolong, further, exceed |
| Conceptual Significance | יסף often marks continuation or escalation of action in biblical narrative, emphasizing growth, intensification, or repeated behavior. In covenantal and prophetic contexts, it can highlight either increasing blessing or escalating judgment, underscoring the dynamic progression of events under divine sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect 3rd masculine plural with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"); causative action performed by a masculine plural subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יסף conveys the idea of adding or increasing. In the Hiphil stem (causative), the verb means "to cause to add" or "to cause to increase." The form is imperfect 3rd masculine plural with prefixed conjunction, hence "and they will cause to increase," preserving both the causative force and the masculine plural subject. |
