to raise up

Morphological NotesVerb, Hiphil (causative) infinitive construct with prefixed לְ (“to”).
Rendering RationaleThe Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root קום (“to rise, stand”), so the infinitive construct לְהָקִים means “to cause to rise” or “to raise up.” This rendering preserves both the core imagery of rising/standing and the causative morphology.
