I am able
| Root | יכל (y-k-l) |
| Core Meanings | ability, capacity, power, prevailing, endurance |
| Semantic Range | to be able, to have capacity, to prevail, to endure, to overcome, to have power, to be capable of accomplishing something |
| Conceptual Significance | יכל highlights human or divine capacity and limitation. When used of humans, it underscores dependence or insufficiency; when used of YHWH, it emphasizes sovereign power and the unmatched ability of Elohim to accomplish His purposes. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 1st common singular from יָכֹל. The Qal expresses simple ability or capacity; the imperfect denotes incomplete action, often present or future ("I am able" or "I will be able"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אוּכַל is Qal imperfect 1st common singular, expressing the speaker’s own capacity or power. "I am able" preserves the core idea of ability inherent in the root יכל and accurately reflects the first-person singular verbal form. |
