and the one who brings-to-account

Rootיכח (y-k-ḥ)
Core Meaningsrightness, correction, adjudication, argument, reproof, conviction
Semantic Rangeto reprove, rebuke, correct, argue a case, adjudicate, decide, convict, justify, bring to account
Conceptual SignificanceThis 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 NotesHiphil 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 RationaleThe 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."
