SIBI-P1 H3198-06
and the one who brings-to-account
| Root | יכח (y-k-ḥ) |
| Core Meanings | rightness, correction, adjudication, argument, reproof, conviction |
| Semantic Range | to reprove, rebuke, correct, argue a case, adjudicate, decide, convict, justify, bring to account |
| Conceptual Significance | This root reflects the biblical concept of establishing justice and truth through correction and legal reasoning. It often appears in contexts of covenantal accountability, where YHWH or a leader brings someone to recognize rightness, exposing wrongdoing and restoring order. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense: causing someone to recognize what is right or just. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root יכח carries the idea of establishing what is right through argument, correction, or judgment. In the Hiphil stem it is causative—"to cause to be right," hence to reprove, decide, or bring to account. The masculine singular participle is rendered "the one who brings-to-account," preserving both the causative force and the masculine singular form, with the prefixed conjunction reflected by "and." |
