11 languages

Root of the קום family (19 members).

To rise, stand up, or get up, in both literal and figurative senses. The verb denotes the physical act of rising from a seated, lying, or fallen position; it further expands to describe standing before someone (such as in respect or preparation for action), taking action or initiative, and being firmly established or confirmed (as with a decree, covenant, or promise). In the causative stem (hiphil), it conveys the ideas of raising up, establishing, appointing, or restoring. Semantic range includes personal or communal resurrection, establishing something as enduring or official, or persisting/continuing. Frequently used in idiomatic expressions, commands, and judicial or covenantal contexts.

Etymology Root: קום. From the triconsonantal verb ק-ו-ם, which expresses the concept of 'rising' or 'standing up.' The base sense is the physical action of moving from a lower to a higher position or coming to one's feet, metaphorically extended to ideas of strengthening, confirming, or enduring. The same root is found in other Semitic languages with similar meanings ('to rise, stand').
