and the one who lifts up high
| Root | רום (r-w-m) |
| Core Meanings | height, elevation, exaltation, rising, lifting up |
| Semantic Range | to raise physically, to exalt socially or spiritually, to lift up in honor, to elevate in status, to set on high, to offer up |
| Conceptual Significance | The root רום frequently conveys exaltation—whether of persons, kings, or יהוה Himself. In theological contexts, it underscores divine sovereignty and the act of elevating or honoring, highlighting themes of pride, humility, and divine exaltation. |
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). The Hiphil stem conveys causative action: "causing to rise" or "raising up." |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מֵרִים is a Hiphil masculine singular participle from רום, expressing active causation—"one who causes to rise" or "lifts up." Rendering it as "the one who lifts up high" preserves the causative sense of the Hiphil stem and reflects the masculine singular participial form, with the prefixed conjunction וּ translated as "and." |
