SIBI-P1 H6213-173

they shall **do-make**

Rootעשה (ʿ-ś-h)
Core Meaningsto do, to make, to fashion, to accomplish, to produce
Semantic RangeTo cause to do/make (causative Hiphil): appoint, execute, perform, fashion, bring about, work, produce, deal with, observe, celebrate (e.g., feasts), in contexts from crafting objects to moral actions and divine works.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, עשה often denotes God's creative acts (e.g., Genesis 1 creation), covenant observance, and righteous deeds, contrasting human works with divine efficacy; the Hiphil form emphasizes causation, highlighting divine agency in accomplishing redemption, judgment, or cultic service.
Morphological NotesHiphil (HV) imperfect (qi/qj) 3rd masculine plural; prefixed יַעֲ with samekh שׂ (not sin), vocalized with shewa under ayin and cholam-like patach-hataf, ending in וּ for cohortative/volitive nuance in 3mp.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering 'they shall do-make' preserves the core semantic field of the root עשה by combining 'do' and 'make' to evoke its broadest sense of action and production, as per the lexeme gloss; it reflects the Hiphil stem's causative/intensive force through the hyphenated compound, the 3mp morphology via the masculine plural 'they shall,' and the imperfective future/volitive aspect via 'shall.'
